Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-20 16:54:34] php at felixdd dot de Description: ------------ strptime returns random values for parts not included in the format string. manpage of strptime says: "In principle, this function does not initialize tm but only stores the values specified. This means that tm should be initialized before the call." But this isn't done in ext/standard/datetime.c neither in 5.1.5 nor in 5.2.0RC2 Reproduce code: --------------- // only date, no time given print_r(strptime('2006-08-20', '%Y-%m-%d')); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [tm_sec] => 0 [tm_min] => 0 [tm_hour] => 0 [tm_mday] => 20 [tm_mon] => 7 [tm_year] => 106 [tm_wday] => 0 [tm_yday] => 231 [unparsed] => ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [tm_sec] => 140252532 <-- random values each time called [tm_min] => 13 <-- random values each time called [tm_hour] => 1 <-- random values each time called [tm_mday] => 20 [tm_mon] => 7 [tm_year] => 106 [tm_wday] => 0 [tm_yday] => 231 [unparsed] => ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38524&edit=1
