ID: 34676 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: rajiv at alum dot mit dot edu Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS (2005-09-29) Assigned To: derick New Comment: (Only for PHP 5.1 and higher btw) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-08 16:31:11] derick@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-08 15:45:46] derick@php.net I can implement this, but I do not agree that "noon" should go to the next day if it's already in the afternoon here. IMO that doesn't make any sense. Also, I'm not totally sure why "noon" and "midnight" are better than "00:00" and "12:00"... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-29 09:11:25] sniper@php.net Reclassified as feature request and assigned to Derick so he can add in PHP 5.1.x. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-29 06:20:04] rajiv at alum dot mit dot edu Description: ------------ strtotime() should be able to parse "midnight" and "noon". Reproduce code: --------------- echo strtotime("midnight"); echo strtotime("noon"); Expected result: ---------------- echo strtotime("midnight"); should print the time stamp for the next midnight (midnight tomorrow). echo strtotime("noon"); should print the time stamp for the next noon (noon today/tomorrow depending on the current time). echo strtotime("12:00 am"); echo strtotime("12 am"); echo strtotime("12:00 pm"); echo strtotime("12 pm"); all do the correct things. Actual result: -------------- echo strtotime("midnight"); returns -1. echo strtotime("noon"); returns -1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34676&edit=1
