note 125608 added to function.strtotime

*The case 30/11/-0001* With the following note, I will report a particular behaviour of function strtotime() I want to call it «The case 30/11/-0001». It is very common and known but never reported here. Passing the input parameter '0000-00-00' to the function it returns a wrong and not supported timestamp value. It can be seen with these statement <?php echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime('0000-00-00')); // returns 30/11/-0001 ?> It seems there's no way to avoid that, but it is possibile to do workaround with if/3operator clausole simply as follow <?php strcmp($date "0000-00-00")? date('d/m/Y', strtotime($date) ) : date('d/m/Y') ?> Otherwise a simple way is to avoid to store to the DB the value '0000-00-00' and insert a default data value (i.e. with the mySQL function NOW() which sets the date on today's date) ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.91.159.165 (proxied: 2.45.127.205) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125608 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125608 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125608 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
