Input checking may be the only option here.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-11 03:15:11] resident at telcontar dot net Description: ------------ I realise you've been making changes to strtotime() in PHP (I'm in Mac OS 9.1 - can't run a CVS copy), but you may still want to check to see what the new version makes of date strings with no day specified (someone tried to use such a string on my site) - I'm getting a timestamp from an unrelated day several years into the future. See the code specified. Reproduce code: --------------- echo strtotime("Oct 2001"); Expected result: ---------------- Not sure. Either -1, or the timestamp for 1st October 2001 - probably the latter. Actual result: -------------- 1237737600 this gives: 07:16 am: *** Unix time "1237737600": Sunday, March 22, 2009 @ 04:00:00 pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26198&edit=1
