I'm having the same problem. strtotime("February 31, 2007 18:45:00
GMT")should return FALSE but it just gets converted to March 3. I'm
using PHP 5.2.1 running on Windows.

If it is expected behavior, why does it behave differently for numeric
dates? 03/345/2007 returns invalid, as I would expect it to. It seems
counterintuitive to have a function that is widely used to process
user-
entered data doing anything other than validating that the date entered
is an actual date.

That is expected behavior. Although I would assume rather just adding 1
month to the date it would add 1 month + remaining # of days.
My expected return value would be: October 15, 1992

Description:
------------
If I enter a date with a text month and an invalid day, it returns as
valid.
Example, September 45, 1992 returns as valid. It THINKS the date is
October 5, 1992.
(The same is true for Sep 45, 1992).
What it seems to do is to get the year correctly, then take the last
digit of the day and then add 1 to the month.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$cdate = strtotime("September 45, 1992");
if(!$cdate){
echo(-1);
exit;
}
else{
echo (date("M d Y",$cdate);
}
Expected result:
----------------
It echo -1.
Actual result:
--------------
It prints out October 5, 1992
