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 bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44593&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44593&r=mysqlcfg
