Ok, I changed my mind and think this would be solved by fixing the
function instead.
Because there is a Bug #18101 in which sniper promised that I would
rewrite it, I'm marking this one as duplicate of that bug 18101.

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.
