Doc #51538 [Opn]: strptime() buggy prior PHP 5.2.0

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51538&edit=1 ID: 51538 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported by: alex dot schuch at gmx dot de Summary: strptime() buggy prior PHP 5.2.0 Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: irrelevant? PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: Surely it's not "random", so is there some logic behind these incorrect [and seemingly random] values prior to 5.2.0? Or maybe we could use the word 'undefined' instead. Thoughts? The changelog entry is "strptime() does not initialize the internal date storage structure" although I'm unsure exactly what that means.
