#39818 [NEW]: "any English textual datetime description" is ambigious

From: ian at ithomas dot name Operating system: All PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: "any English textual datetime description" is ambigious Description: ------------ The one line summary of strtotime is "Parse about any English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp". This should be clarified to "Parse about any US English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp" (addition of US). If you're American and reading this, please don't think it is not important just because it works fine for you. Imagine if it worked the other way round, and strtotime('2/4/2006') output 2nd April, and your IDE was telling you that this function parsed English dates (meaning dates used in England) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39818&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39818&r=mysqlcfg
