I'll translate In PHP4, strtotime works fine in PHP5 strtotime gives a result of 19700101 when the data entered was strtotime("20080950")What does "work fine" mean? "20080950" isn't normal, so what is the expected result?
Well, for starts Micah is right, your date string will be interpreted as the 50th of September, 2008, which isn't valid and defaults to the time represented by the timestamp 0. If you want to turn 8-digit number strings into timestamps, make sure of two things: 1.It's actually a string and not a number 2.The string is in the format yyyymmdd The strings can be a variety of formats, all found at http://www.gnu.org/software/shishi/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html which is a link available on the strtotime manual page.
I seem to remember a previous discussion about this 'bug' but I can't track the notes. Is it not the case that you can simply add days or months to the 'number' and then use strtotime to output the 'normalised' date. So adding 30 to 20th Sept would return 20th October. This very useful feature was corrected as a bug in the rewrite of Date in PHP5.1?
Reason for looking for the notes was to remember how one has to do it now .... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
