PHP 4.0 Bug #6688 Updated: strtotime() function causes loop in do...while condition

ID: 6688 Updated by: stas Reported By: simon.cox@matrixds.co.uk Status: Closed Bug Type: Date/time related Assigned To: Comments: This seems to be because of daylight saving settings. It is wrong to suppose that day is always 86400 seconds. With DST in effect, day can be a hour shorter or a hour longer when DST is going on or off. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-09-12 17:40:59] simon.cox@matrixds.co.uk Using the following code with the month of October (any year), generates an endless loop; all other months are fine. <? $dtDate = ("10/01/00"); $nMonth = ("10"); do { // Build a calendar table $dtDate = (date("m/d/y", (strtotime($dtDate) + 86400))); } while (date("m", strtotime($dtDate)) == $nMonth); ?> I am using PHP 4.0.2 and Apache 1.3.12 under MS Windows 98 SE. I have tested this script using Linux, Apache and PHP3 and it executes OK for all months. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6688
