note 58971 rejected from function.strtotime by dmytton

Note Submitter: kevintm at ameritech dot net ---- Am I correct in assuming that strtotime doesn't check or know that a date is a valid, calendar date? If I pass a date of 2/30/05 (for example) into strtotime, it hands me back an integer even though that date can't possibly exist (since 2/29 is that last date a February can ever have and then only on leap years). If I'm asking for a string date input on a website to pass into strtotime to verify it's a valid date, do I have to do calendar validation beforehand then? Thanks. Kevin
