 New Comment:

Confirmed on Ubuntu 10.10 (Linux 2.6.35-24-server x86_64). Also tested a
Win32 
build and all three var_dumps() show "bool(false)" as
expected/documented.

Description:
------------
It appears that when the PHP binary was compiled against 64-bit
libraries,  
mktime() seems to only do minimal error checking of parms. After some
additional 
testing, if found the following results:
PHP Code:
$t=mktime(0,0,0,12,3,292277026596); 
var_dump($t); 

$t=mktime(0,0,0,12,3,292277026597); 
var_dump($t); 

$t=mktime(900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,90000
0000000); 

var_dump($t); 
int(9223372036854655200)
int(-9223372036823360416) 
int(-6044405109589065632)

It appears that once the parm value exceeds the value limit of a long
var, the 
function returns a negative value. No warnings are produced. Instead of

returning FALSE for an error, the function just returns an invalid
result.

Test script:
---------------
$t=mktime(0,0,0,12,3,292277026596); 
var_dump($t); 

$t=mktime(0,0,0,12,3,292277026597); 
var_dump($t); 

$t=mktime(900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,900000000000,900000000000);


var_dump($t); 
int(9223372036854655200)
int(-9223372036823360416) 
int(-6044405109589065632)

Expected result:
----------------
Return FALSE if parms are invalid.

Actual result:
--------------
Invalid values. Does not return FALSE.
