Note Submitter: saverio dot caminiti at alfanet dot it ---- This function is really useful. But it always returns the minimum timestamp that match the input string. It should be even more useful to have a function strtointerval that return a two timestamps: the minimum timestamp that match the input and the maximum one. For example: - strtointerval(“Dec 3 2004”) should returns a minimum timestamp (0:0:0 Dec 3 2004) and a maximum one (23:59:59 Dec 3 2004). - strtointerval(“Dec 2004”) returns 0:0:0 Dec 1 2004 and 23:59:59 Dec 31 2004 - strtointerval(“2004”) returns 0:0:0 Jan 1 2004 and 23:59:59 Dec 31 2004 And so on. It should be also useful that strtointerval() parse English sentences like “between A and B” or “[form] A to B” where A and B are two valid input for the actual strtotime(). Starting from the source code of strtotime() it should be not difficult to implement strtointerval(), perhaps through a function strtoMAXtime() that generate the maximum timestamp instead of the minimum one, and then adding the English interval sentences support. Thanks, Saverio Caminiti.
