Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-09 20:37:52] markjreed at mail dot com The latest snapshot also ignores the time in the colon'ed version ("09:00 tomorrow"), whereas 5.0.3 got that right: $ php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("09:00 tomorrow"));' #5.0.3 Wed Aug 10 09:00:00 2005 $ ./sapi/cli/php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("09:00 tomorrow"));' #200508091630 Wed Aug 10 00:00:00 2005 $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-09 20:34:51] markjreed at mail dot com The latest CVS snapshot (200508091630) handles the problem string better, but still not perfectly - it gets the date right but ignores the hour: $ ./sapi/cli/php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow"));' Wed Aug 10 00:00:00 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-09 20:05:06] tony2001@php.net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
