Req #74797 [NEW]: strtotime() doesn't accept date with spaces in it

From: hofman dot tomas at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Next Minor Version Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:strtotime() doesn't accept date with spaces in it Description: ------------ It will be nice, that strtotime() function could parse date format with dots and spaces to. Now strtotime('22.6.2017') returns 1498082400, but typographicaly correct version strtotime('22. 6. 2017') returns false. In some languages/typographic convetions (like Czech or German) format with spaces is correct, but strtotime() not supports it. Is it possible to have also this one? Test script: --------------- <?php echo var_dump(strtotime('22.6.2017')); echo var_dump(strtotime('22. 6. 2017')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- int(1498082400) int(1498082400) Actual result: -------------- int(1498082400) bool(false) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74797&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74797&r=mysqlcfg
