Bug #72425 [Com]: strtotime() doesn't return false when string contains white space

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72425&edit=1 ID: 72425 Comment by: mtanalin at yandex dot ru Reported by: alex at itc77 dot com Summary: strtotime() doesn't return false when string contains white space Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Date/time related PHP Version: 7.0.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: To cmb@php.net: Obviously, invalid should be whitespace-ONLY arguments (in other words, becoming empty string after trim()), not arguments _containing_ whitespace. '2016-06-16 11:23' does not become an empty (zero-length) string after trimming whitespace. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-16 11:34:26] cmb@php.net I can confirm this behavior: <https://3v4l.org/HNaaY>. > According to the documentation white space should be treated as > invalid format and return false. Where is this documented? That would actually be wrong; consider strtotime('2016-06-16 11:23') which is supposed to be acceptable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-15 20:44:36] alex at itc77 dot com Please accept this patch: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/615 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-15 20:42:44] alex at itc77 dot com Description: ------------ strtotime() doesn't return false when string contains white space According to the documentation white space should be treated as invalid format and return false.
