Not my invention though. I found it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6668223/php-date-parse-from-format-alternative-in-php-5-2

Thought this might be a good place to keep a copy in case someone stumbles upon the same problem facing outdated PHP versions on customer servers ....

$date = "10 October 2018 19:30 pm";
print_r (date_parse_from_format("j F Y G:i a", $date));

Output:

Array (
    [year]          => 2018
    [month]         => 10
    [day]           => 10
    [hour]          => 31
    [minute]        => 30
    [second]        => 0
    [fraction]      =>
    [warning_count] => 1
    [warnings]      => Array (
                        [24] => The parsed time was invalid
                    )
    [error_count]   => 0
    [errors]        => Array ( )
    [is_localtime]  =>
)

19:30 pm is invalid, 24-hour format of an hour can't be used with am/pm

must be replaced with:

$date = "10 October 2018 19:30";
print_r (date_parse_from_format("j F Y G:i", $date));

or:

$date = "10 October 2018 7:30 pm";
print_r (date_parse_from_format("j F Y g:i a", $date));
