Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60563&edit=1 ID: 60563 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported by: edu2004eu at yahoo dot com Summary: strtotime(<float var>) returns TRUE -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Windows (at least) PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is correct. The float gets converted to a string ("0.8") and that is interpreted as hour 0 and minute 8. Not every locale uses a : to separate, but some use the ".".

For example if my float variable is "0.8", I would get "1324249680" as result from strtotime. Not sure if this is normal, but I would say NO. Test script: --------------- echo strtotime(0.8); $var = 0.8; echo strtotime($var); Expected result: ---------------- FALSE Actual result: -------------- 1324249680 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60563&edit=1
