If you pass bad data to a function, it should not warn you?
I'd rather have it as a FATAL error. :)
Nothing to fix here, move along. (and fix your code..)

The conclusion SEEMED to be that it's a bug in the parameter parsing API
(as date() now uses the new API).
I think that the 2nd param should automatically be cast to an int. Yes,
I realize that the documentation says it should be an int, and I'm ok
with that (the extraneous whitespace is my fault). I think it should be
mentioned in the release docs if it won't be fixed, though.
Also, a warning is pretty harsh. A E_NOTICE is more representative of
what's happening. Also, in the E_WARNING scenario above, date() no
longer returns the expected result (based on <=5.0 code).
So: is this a bug? If so, I can send a report -- I just didn't want it
to get bogussed without discussion.
If not -- I really think this should be fixed before 5.1.. I realize
it's very late in the game, though.
Opinions?
