#38481 [Bgs]: strtotime return invalid timestamp (if input value is timestamp)

ID: 38481 User updated by: oleg at programstar dot com Reported By: oleg at programstar dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Fedora 4.1 PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Yes, certainly! But repetition - thereby function uses standart function date_format in Smarty. Sorry for my bad English Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-17 11:21:13] tony2001@php.net Actually, no need to try the snapshot, it's bogus. The function was never intended to parse timestamps, it parses "string containing a US English date format". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-17 11:04:04] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip If you're still able to reproduce it - please provide short and complete reproduce script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-17 11:01:33] oleg at programstar dot com Description: ------------ I’ve found a bug in strtotime() function. The present function does not return anything if you transmit unix_timestamp as a function parameter. However, if the last four digits of the value compose a valid year value, the function tries to calculate the whole date with the last 5 digits. Probably it fails there so it returns unix_timestamp the dates with the day and month equal to the current one, as far as the year goes, it is the one that the function has detected in the timestamp primary value. Example: Primary value: 1136412001 (January, 5, 2006) On return: 998037401 (August, 17, 2001) This way, a standard plug-in Smarty uses this function to transform the UNIX_TIMESTAMP format data into any data value.
