note 72837 added to function.strtotime

Here is a strange "feature" of this function of which you should be aware: If you use: strtotime("NET") ...or... strtotime("NET1000") ...or a bazillion other strings beginning with "NET"... strtotime() will actually interpret these as a timestamp! I tested and verified this functionality on PHP versions: - Linux, PHP 5.1.6 - Windows, PHP 5.1.2 I have relied on this function to determine if a string is a date (as do many developers), but these special "NET" strings must be an undocumented "feature," because there is nothing to be found about it anywhere in the docs or on Google (at least that I can find). ---- Server IP: 200.185.109.13 Probable Submitter: 67.162.134.212 (proxied: 127.0.0.1) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72837 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72837 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72837 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
