#18769 [Opn->Bgs]: strtotime('00:01am'); returns -1 instead of timestamp

ID: 18769 Updated by: eru@php.net Reported By: peka@yashuu.de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Tested on Windows2000 / Unix PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: This is quite correct, as 0 isn't a valid hour in this time-format. To quote from date input formats: If the time is followed by am' or pm' (or a.m.' or p.m.'), hour is restricted to run from 1 to 12, and `:minute' may be omitted (taken to be zero). am' indicates the first half of the day, pm' indicates the second half of the day. In this notation, 12 is the predecessor of 1: midnight is 12am' while noon is 12pm'. See http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar-1.12/html_chapter/tar_7.html Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-07 04:01:10] peka@yashuu.de The PHP code <? echo strtotime('00:01am'); ?> produces -1 as return instead of a correct timestamp I tested on W2k/Apache/PHP 4.2.2, afterwards uploading it to my webspace provider who uses Unix. The bug is reproduceable there, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18769&edit=1
