note 109929 added to function.strtotime

For negative UNIX timestamps, strtotime seems to return the literal you passed in, or it may try to deduct the number of seconds from today's date. To work around this behaviour, it appears that the same behaviour as described in the DateTime classes applies: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php Specifically this line here (in the EN manual): > The $timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the $time parameter either is > a UNIX timestamp (e.g. @946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00). Therefore strtotime('@-1000') returns 1000 seconds before the epoch. Hope this helps. ---- Server IP: 94.76.225.145 Probable Submitter: 87.194.120.136 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109929 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109929 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109929 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
