#34250 [Opn->Bgs]: strtotime("next year") returns +2 years?

ID: 34250 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: gecko at geckzilla dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.0.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected for PHP < 5.1. In PHp 5.1 and 6.0 this will work just fine. The reasoning is that you have: first = 1 next = 2 third = 3 and follows the GNU standards. We did decide to fix this in PHP 5.1 though.
