how to get time() like value from mktime()
<p>I have the following code:</p>

<pre><code>$value = '2012-03-05';
$parts = explode('-',$value);
$value = mktime(0,0,0,$parts[1],$parts[0],$parts[2]);

// output of $value is 2012 ??
</code></pre>

<p>Shouldn't mktime() return something like a time() output?</p>

<p>What is wrong with my code?</p>
