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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26090&edit=1
