If there's no real date, it fails to return false. date_default_timezone_set has been properly set Reproduce code: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam'); $time = strtotime("T.B.A."); var_dump($time); $time = strtotime("T.BA."); var_dump($time); $time = strtotime("TB.A."); var_dump($time); $time = strtotime("TBA"); var_dump($time); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- int(somenumberthatchanges) int(somenumberthatchanges) bool(false) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50534&edit=1
