#36988 [Opn->Asn]: mktime freezes on long numbers

ID: 36988 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: virtuall at virtuall dot info -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux, FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.1.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-05 18:24:30] virtuall at virtuall dot info Description: ------------ I believe it's not a bug, but it's a really good way to lock down the server for a couple of seconds. Anyway, mktime does not check if 'year' is a valid number. It accepts any integer value and starts counting the seconds. IMO mktime should have some limit after which the date is considered invalid and it returns FALSE without even starting to count. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $start = microtime(1); $a = mktime(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 11111111111); var_dump($a); echo number_format(microtime(1) - $start, 2)."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) 0.00 Actual result: -------------- bool(false) 44.57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36988&edit=1
