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?
