Bug #61314 [NEW]: Cannot mix European and 2 digit year

From: Operating system: Ubuntu 11.10 PHP version: 5.3.10 Package: PHP options/info functions Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Cannot mix European and 2 digit year Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strtotime --- Specifying a date of 10-11-77 will epoch, and not create the timestamp for 10-11-1977 as expected, according to the two notes on the strtotime() function page shown below. This should really say "whereas if the separator is a dot (.), then the European d.m.y format is assumed" Note: If the number of the year is specified in a two digit format, the values between 00-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999. Note: ...whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed. Test script: --------------- echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("10-11-77 03:12:01")); // unexpected fail: supposed to be d/m/y with year 77 auto changed to 1977 echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("10.11.77 03:12:01")); // pass: EUR d/m/y with year 77 auto changed to 1977 echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("10/11/77 03:12:01")); // pass: US m/d/y echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("77-11-10 03:12:01")); // pass: ISO 8601 y-m-d echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("77/11/10 03:12:01")); // expected fail: US m/d/y data incorrect Expected result: ---------------- 1977-11-10 03:12:01 1977-11-10 03:12:01 1977-10-11 03:12:01 1977-11-10 03:12:01 1970-01-01 00:00:00 Actual result: -------------- 1970-01-01 00:00:00 1977-11-10 03:12:01 1977-10-11 03:12:01 1977-11-10 03:12:01 1970-01-01 00:00:00 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61314&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61314&r=mysqlcfg
