#18177 [Com]: Second argument to strtotime has no effect

ID: 18177 Comment by: kwils13 at hotmail dot com Reported By: ph at cpen dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: w2k PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I've experienced the same thing (redhat) int strtotime ( string time [, int now]) ... will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp RELATIVE TO THE TIMESTAMP GIVEN IN NOW, OR THE CURRENT TIME IF NONE IS SUPPLIED. (sorry wasn't sure how else to give emphasis) echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s",time()); #result: 10/10/2004 10:14:31 echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s",strtotime("+ 1 hour", time())); #result: 10/10/2004 01:00:00 #expected: 10/10/2004 11:14:31 echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s",strtotime("+ 1 hour")); #result: 10/10/2004 01:00:00 #expected: 10/10/2004 11:14:31 it appears that strtotime always returns the date at midnight (00:00:00) and is in fact, not relative to the timestamp given in now or the current time if none is supplied. Suggesting that the second argument seems to have no effect.
