#34055 [Opn->Fbk]: Odd exception in strtotime parsing

ID: 34055 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: markjreed at mail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-09 19:56:06] markjreed at mail dot com Description: ------------ This doesn't seem to fall into the same category as the other strtotime() bugs I found in the system. Here is an example: $ php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow"));' Sat Jan 26 13:50:04 2008 If I add a colon to the time ("09:00 tomorrow"), or exchange the date and time ("tomorrow 0900"), it produces the expected result. I don't know quite what's going on here. Note that Perl's Time::ParseDate::parsedate function handles such strings properly. The expected and actual output below are only for the particular moment when I tried it; they will vary depending on the time of the test. Reproduce code: --------------- echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow")); Expected result: ---------------- Wed Aug 10 09:00:00 2005 Actual result: -------------- Sat Jan 26 13:50:04 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34055&edit=1
