Apparently strtotime() always returns false if there are more than 7 decimals. For example: var_dump(strtotime("1970-01-02 00:00:00.000 GMT")); // int(86400), ok var_dump(strtotime("1970-01-02 00:00:00.00000000 GMT")); // expected: int(86400), got: bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-26 01:03:51] requinix@php.net The most it could do is ignore the microseconds. Meanwhile DateTime::createFromFormat("M d H:i:s.u Y T", "Feb 25 23:38:22.226 2015 GMT") works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-26 00:50:51] alexander dot minges at gmail dot com Description: ------------ strtotime fails to parse strings in the format "Feb 25 23:38:22.226 2015 GMT" while "Feb 25 23:38:22 2015 GMT" is parsed fine. The same applies to creating a DateTime object. Test script: --------------- <?php //This works echo strtotime("Feb 25 23:38:22 2015 GMT"); //This one does not echo strtotime("Feb 25 23:38:22.226 2015 GMT"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 1424907502 1424907502 Actual result: -------------- 1424907502 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69122&edit=1
