ID: 18670 Comment by: sergio at wgo dot com dot br Reported By: nic at bbmcarlson dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.3RC5-dev New Comment: I have a problem to use StrToTime with the date 2003-10-12. Its return -1. I'm using the version PHP 4.3.2 <? $data10 = '2003-10-11'; $data11 = '10/11/2003'; ## bug date $data20 = '2003-10-12'; $data21 = '10/12/2003'; $data30 = '2003-10-13'; $data31 = '10/13/2003'; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data10 ) )."<br>"; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data11 ) )."<br>"; Echo StrToTime( $data11 )."<br>"; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data20 ) )." ** on my server, display '31-12-1969'...BUG or What ? <br>"; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data21 ) )." ** on my server, display '31-12-1969'...BUG or What ? <br>"; Echo StrToTime( $data21 )." display -1 <br>"; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data30 ) )."<br>"; Echo Date( 'd-m-Y', StrToTime( $data31 ) )."<br>"; Echo StrToTime( $data31 )."<br>"; ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-11 14:12:37] mphillips at lufkin dot org I have noticed that when you do something like $sdate = date9'Y-m-d', strtotime('02-09-2003')); $sdate is getting '2008-02-24'. Is this a common occurance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-31 12:07:20] matt at codewalkers dot com I also can confirm that strtotime acts funny when the same day does not exist in the next month: <? $timestamp = strtotime("31 October 2002"); $next_month = strftime("%B" ,strtotime("+1 month", $timestamp)); echo $next_month; ?> displays: December ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 17:07:42] spud at nothingness dot org In PHP 4.2.3, the difference between "2" and "next" are still screwy in strtotime(). I'm trying to parse icalendar recurrence formats, so I need to calculate things like the "second Monday" in a month. Sample code below illustrates the difference between "2" and "next" (which should be identical). <? $start = strtotime('September 1, 2002'); echo ('Start timestamp: '.$start.'<br>'); echo ('Start date: Sunday, Sep 1 2002<br>'); $first = strtotime('first Monday',$start); echo ('"First" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$first).'<br>'); $oneth = strtotime('1 Monday',$start); echo ('"1" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$oneth).'<br>'); $next = strtotime('next Monday',$start); echo ('"Next" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$next).'<br>'); $twoth = strtotime('2 Monday',$start); echo ('"2" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$twoth).'<br>'); $third = strtotime('third Monday',$start); echo ('"Third" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$third).'<br>'); $threeth = strtotime('3 Monday',$start); echo ('"3" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$threeth).'<br>'); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-31 18:07:05] kalowsky@php.net Assigning to rasmus as it sounds like he already knows whats wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-31 10:51:09] kalowsky@php.net so can we assign this bug to you Rasmus? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
