PHP strtotime with multiple variables

Question

This is my PHP code:

$timestamp2 = strtotime('13:30 04/12/2013');

But, I want to put the these variables in this code:

        $mi = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['mi']);
        $ho = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ho']);
        $da = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['da']);
        $mo = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['mo']);
        $ye = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ye']);

So for example:

$timestamp2 = strtotime('$mi:$ho $mo/$da/$ye');

I tried already multiple possibilities with quotes and etc.. But it didn't have any succes. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!

Is there a question here? If you're just trying to use strtotime on all the variables, put them in an array and run them through a foreach — brbcoding

Actually, my solution isn't what you are looking for. Didn't realize those were each dateparts and not dates by themselves. — brbcoding

mktime() does what you want, just be careful with the parameter order. Something like this should work:

$timestamp2 = mktime($ho, $mi, 0, $mo, $da, $ye);
