Hi,
Long time no speak!
As part of a quick filter I'm writing I try to interpret free text
strings as dates and textual data.
Sometimes, this goes wrong.
For example, I discovered that some words (or strings beginning with
those words) will return false positives:
e.g.:
[colin@jimmy Search (working)]$ php -r 'var_dump(strtotime("east"));'
int(1270514111)
[colin@jimmy Search (working)]$ php -r 'var_dump(strtotime("west"));'
int(1270488914)
[colin@jimmy Search (working)]$ php -r 'var_dump(strtotime("now"));'
int(1270488928)
The last one is valid! But the other two appear to do much the same thing...
Can anyone think of why this would be valid results before I report this
to the relevant authorities?
Col
