#29946 [NEW]: date('r', strtotime('day ago')) always returns 00:00:00 time for last day

From: zukker at gmail dot com Operating system: RH 9.1, WinXP PHP version: 5.0.1 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: date('r', strtotime('day ago')) always returns 00:00:00 time for last day Description: ------------ I notified that code like echo date('r', strtotime('1 day ago')); always returns 00:00:00 time for last day, but if I use code echo date('r', mktime(date('h'), date('i'), date('s'), date('m'), date('d') - 1, date('Y'))); it returns date representation with a correct time, exactly one day ago. Why it always returns midnight time for last day? If I use '24 hours ago' or '84600 seconds ago' - I got the same wrong time of midnight. Reproduce code: --------------- echo date('r', mktime(date('h'), date('i'), date('s'), date('m'), date('d') - 1, date('Y'))), '<br />'; echo date('r', strtotime('1 day ago')), '<br />'; echo date('r', strtotime('24 hours ago')), '<br />'; echo date('r', strtotime('86400 seconds ago')), '<br />'; Expected result: ---------------- Wed, 1 Sep 2004 12:48:54 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 12:48:54 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 12:48:54 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 12:48:54 +0400 Actual result: -------------- Wed, 1 Sep 2004 12:48:54 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0400 Wed, 1 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0400 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29946&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29946&r=float
