note 73122 added to function.strtotime

Regarding the "NET" thing, it's probably parsing it as a time-zone. If you give strtotime any timezone string (like PST, EDT, etc.) it will return the time in that time-zone. In any case, you shouldn't use strtotime to validate dates. It can and will give incorrect results. As just one shining example: Date: 05/01/2007 To most Americans, that's May 1st, 2007. To most Europeans, that's January 5th, 2007. A site that needs to serve people around the globe cannot use strtotime to validate or even interpret dates. The only correct way to parse a date is to mandate a format and check for that specific format (preg_match will make your life easy) or to use separate form fields for each component (which is basically the same thing as mandating a format). ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.238.87.27 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73122 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73122 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73122 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
