Bug #66243 [NEW]: Strtotime producing invalid result

From: elliottpost at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 12.04 PHP version: 5.4.22 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Strtotime producing invalid result Description: ------------ Strtotime() is producing unusual numbering whether running on a server or a fresh install on localhost without modifying php.ini. Example given in the docs is "10 September 2000". strtotime("10 September 2000") works; however, it is a day off. I thought this is due to time zone issues, but when trying the below script it produces a result of December 12, 2000. More than 24 hours off--doesn't seem possible just because of time zones. The higher you go up, the further off it gets--but some work okay. I can't explain it, but I've listed a few samples below. Test script: --------------- <?php echo date( "F n, Y", strtotime( "10 September 2000") ); //prints September 9, 2000 echo date( "F n, Y", strtotime( "10 December 2000") ); //prints December 12, 2000 echo date( "F n, Y", strtotime( "25 December 2013") ); //prints December 12, 2013 echo date( "F n, Y", strtotime( "2014-12-25") ); //prints December 12, 2013 echo date( "F n, Y", strtotime( "2014-05-05") ); //prints May 5, 2014 ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expected the time to be formatted correctly. Actual result: -------------- Please see the test-script...I've added comments by each echo statement. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66243&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66243&r=mysqlcfg
