Colons are included in several offset formmating standards. Reproduce code: --------------- $t = '2003-10-28 10:20:30-0800'; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', strtotime($t)) . "\n<br />\n"; $t = '2003-10-28 10:20:30-08:00'; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', strtotime($t)) . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- 2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST <br /> 2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST Actual result: -------------- 2003-10-28 13:20:30 EST <br /> 1969-12-31 18:59:59 EST On Windows 2000, the attempt with the colons in the offset produces a negative timestamp, so the beloved "Windows does not support dates prior to midnight" warning arises. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26090&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26090&r=float
