The question is: Can we rely on the date/time fields to be in the format 
mm/dd/yy or somethings else that strtotime readsy correctly?
If you have fields in the format yy-mm-dd or dd/mm/yy strtotime will return a 
timestamp but obviously not the correct one.

So I still think the function should only be used if we know which format the 
parsed field has and that strtotime parses this one correctly.
