ID: 36899 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: alan dot whitney at sephone dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux (Fedora Core 2) PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.

Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-29 00:05:29] alan dot whitney at sephone dot com I Downloaded and installed the latest snap shot. It didn't seem to fix the problem. When I run this code: $mktime = 1143592000; $return = strtotime($mktime); echo $return; I get the output of 954261839. Which is a timestamp for 3/28/2000 at 11:43:59 I was expecting it to return false or null. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-28 23:41:49] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.1-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.1-win32-latest.zip Can't reproduce. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-28 23:33:15] alan dot whitney at sephone dot com Description: ------------ When you use strtotime on 1143522000 it returns a timestamp 6 years eariler. It seems to be if the string falls on the format HHMMSSYYYY and HH is above 10 and SS is above 37 it will parse it out to be the time in the string(HHMMSS), today's date and the year (YYYY) in the string. Reproduce code: --------------- $mktime = mktime(0,0,0, 3, 28, 2006); $return = strtotime($mktime); if ($return === false) { echo "Nothing"; } else { echo date("r", $return); } Expected result: ---------------- Nothing Actual result: -------------- Tue, 28 Mar 2000 11:43:52 -0500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36899&edit=1
