note 45016 deleted from function.strtotime by derick

Note Submitter: Mike Toppa ---- If you're using SQL Server, it returns dates as a fixed length field, which means you'll often get whitespace at the end of a date. If you use strtotime() on such a date, it will behave correctly about half the time. The other half, it will return -1 (to demonstrate, run it through a web page, and keep hitting reload, and you'll see it randomly jump back and forth). This isn't a strtotime bug, as I assume it's not designed to handle whitespace. So the solution is to trim any dates you get from SQL Server tables before using strtotime() on them. This is also a problem if you use Smarty's date formatting features. Trim dates you get from SQL Server before you send them to Smarty.
