PHP 4.0 Bug #10145: strtime("") result?

From: colin@easydns.com Operating system: RH 7.0 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (03/04/2001) PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: strtime("") result? strtotime("") returns the timestamp for midnight on the current date. I suppose if you think about it a bit, it makes sense (since the modification you are making to the current date is empty), but I would suggest that it should return either a warning or nothing. A lot of people (judging from the manual notes) use strtotime() to parse an existing date string, not to do a "+30 days" modification to it. For them, the strtotime("") result is not intuitive, I think. Perhaps the confusion could be fixed by having one function to parse date/time strings and one to do the "+X days" modification? -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10145&edit=1
