note 101842 added to function.strtotime

PHP 5.3 broke strtotime() in a way I haven't seen anybody mention. It really destroys the usefulness of this built-in function. Dojo and other JS libraries turn dates into strings with two timezones, one as GMT-XXXX and one as the words describing the timezone. PHP 5.3.1: php -qr 'echo strtotime("Tue Jan 11 2011 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)");' [no output (i.e. false)] PHP 5.2.5: php -qr 'echo strtotime("Tue Jan 11 2011 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)");' 1294704000 PHP 5.3.1: php -qr 'echo strtotime("Tue Jan 11 2011 00:00:00 GMT-0500");' 1294722000 PHP 5.2.5: php -qr 'echo strtotime("Tue Jan 11 2011 00:00:00 GMT-0500");' 1294704000 Work around: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1871780/ ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.41.110.112 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101842 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101842 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101842 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
