For example, I discovered that some words (or strings beginning with

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?
Time Zones?

This is correct for my timezone (US Central Daylight Time).

php -r "echo date('r',strtotime('east'));"

This is correct for the time zone east of me, US Eastern Daylight Time.
However, the TZ offset is wrong for that TZ, it's still mine.

This is correct for American Samoa, but I've no idea why :-D
Nonetheless, I'm suspecting the programmers had something
like this in mind. Isn't strtotime() based on some GNU utility?
