note 50422 added to function.strtotime

I made a simple hack to allow a correct date parse of Quarters. For example, of you have this date: Q1 2005, it should be converted to 2005-03-27. The only support it doesn't have is for 2 digit year based (because of my Regular Expression). So, these entries are allowed: - Q7 2005 => will be converted to Q3 2006 - Q1 2005 10:01:50 - February 2005 - 16-feb-2006 - and other strtotime compatible. The function: <?php function str2time($str) { $str = preg_replace("/Q(.+){1}\s+([[:digit:]]{4})(.*)/i", "\\2-X\\1X-27\\3", trim($str)); preg_match_all("/X(.+)X/i", $str, $matches); $quarter = $matches[1][0]; $month = $quarter * 3; if (strlen($month) == 1) $month = "0".$month; return strtotime(str_replace("X{$quarter}X", $month, $str)); } ?> Example call: <?php print_r(getdate(str2time("Q1 2005 10:01:50"))); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50422 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50422&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50422&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50422&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50422&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50422&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50422&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
