#19166 [NEW]: strtotime example in docs incorrect

From: jc@mega-bucks.co.jp Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.2 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: strtotime example in docs incorrect The docs for strtotime contain a code snippet that is supposed to catch invalid dates. It fails in this example where $str is set to "1970-1-222" and invalid date. $str = "1970-1-222"; if (($timestamp = strtotime($str)) === -1) { echo "The string ($str) is bogus"; } else { echo "$str == ". date('l dS of F Y h:i:s A',$timestamp); } The output is: 1970-1-222 == Monday 10th of August 1970 12:00:00 AM Whereas is should say that 1970-1-222 is a bogus date.
