note 32927 added to function.strtotime

It seems that strtotime() fails to take daylight saving time into account, as the following code demonstrates: $stamp = 7516800; for ($i=0; $i<4; $i++) { $s = substr(date('D, d M Y H:i:s T',$stamp),0,29); $stamp2 = strtotime($s); $b = ($stamp == $stamp2) ? "OK" : "BUG"; echo "$stamp --> $s --> $stamp2 ($b)\\n"; $stamp += 3600; } This produces the following output: 7516800 --> Sun, 29 Mar 1970 00:00:00 GMT --> 7516800 (OK) 7520400 --> Sun, 29 Mar 1970 02:00:00 GMT --> 7524000 (BUG) 7524000 --> Sun, 29 Mar 1970 03:00:00 GMT --> 7527600 (BUG) 7527600 --> Sun, 29 Mar 1970 04:00:00 GMT --> 7531200 (BUG) I do, however, have a workaround. (This will continue to work even if the bug gets fixed). function bug_free_strtotime($str) { $stamp = strtotime($str); $str2 = substr(date('D, d m Y H:i:s T',$stamp),0,29); return ($str == $str2) ? $stamp : $stamp-3600; } Jill ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32927 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32927&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32927&report=yes
