Bug #52350 [Opn->Bgs]: strtotime not handling invalid dates

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52350&edit=1 ID: 52350 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: ftdysa at gmail dot com Summary: strtotime not handling invalid dates -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Linux 2.6.21.5 PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: This is intended behaviour: bar checkdate(), which is strict by design, PHP tries to be as liberal as possible about accepting dates and conforming invalid values to valid ones. This particular behaviour also mimics the long standing way the C (and PHP) mktime() works in terms of accepting days outside of the normal range for a month.
