Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-01 13:42:44] bernhard at bksys dot at Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php says: "Note: If the number of the year is specified in a two digit format, the values between 00-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999." This makes 69 2069. 0035 should be the ancient year 35 AD. "time The string to parse, according to the GNU » Date Input Formats syntax." http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_115.html says: ------------------------- 72-9-24 # Assume 19xx for 69 through 99, # 20xx for 00 through 68. If year is 68 or smaller, then 2000 is added to it; otherwise, if year is less than 100, then 1900 is added to it. ------------------------- This makes 69 1969. 0035 is less than 69 so should be converted to 2035. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44593&edit=1
