#19515 [Opn->Bgs]: Parameters of function strtotime() seem wrong

ID: 19515 Updated by: cynic@php.net Reported By: dallas@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-09-20 New Comment: "Jan 1 1970" is an absolute date. how do you want to change it's timestamp? reread the docs. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-20 02:23:34] dallas@php.net Function strtotime() is defined as below: int strtotime ( string time [, int now]) But when I try this function, whatever value I provide to 'now' seem no affect to the result at all. I've tried following example: echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970"), "\n"; echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", 10000), "\n"; echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", time()), "\n"; and the result is(PHP 4.0.6, 4.2.3, 4.3.0, Linux, Windows): 18000 18000 18000 I'm in GMT-0500, so I guess the result is correct. But what exactly the parameter 'now' for? I supposed strtotime() function behave correctly, so 'now' is just meaningless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19515&edit=1
