#45713 [NEW]: Function strtotime() always returns FALSE if year > 2037!!
From: kris dot craig at gmail dot com
Operating system: Windows
PHP version: 5.2.6
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Function strtotime() always returns FALSE if year > 2037!!
Description:
------------
Any time I enter a date (any format) into strtotime that contains a year
later than 2037, the function returns FALSE every time. If I change the
year to 2037 or earler, without changing anything else, it works every
time. I have not been able to find any documentation or other information
to explain this phenomenon.
Pertinent server/module/etc information can be found here:
http://www.kriscraig.com/phpinfo.php
Reproduce code:
---------------
/* This could not be simpler.... */
print strtotime( "2012-05-06" ); //1336287600 (works)
print strtotime( "12 May 2037" ); //2125724400 (works)
print strtotime( "12 May 2038" ); // (doesn't work!)
print strtotime( "2500-05-06" ); // (doesn't work!)
Expected result:
----------------
They should all return a valid timestamp. FALSE should only be returned
if it fails, which is not supposed to happen simply because the year being
input is greater than 2037!
Actual result:
--------------
It returns FALSE. Nothing. Nada.
