Bug description: strtotime() returns timestamp in the future when given a
bogus string
Description:
------------
When writing a unit test to ensure bogus data cannot be passed to our
e-commerce paypal request-response library we've stumbled upon an
unexpected problem. I enjoy the occassional (1-2 per day) slice whilst at
work so I passed this as a test bogus string.
<?php
var_dump(strtotime('i like to eat slices at work'));
?>
This returns a timestamp exactly 2 hours in the future. This has been
tested on 2 different macs and a linux server.
We've pinned it down to the "i". What we really expected was a boolean
false return value.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(strtotime('i like to eat slices at work'));
var_dump(strtotime('i')); //same
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A boolean FALSE return is expected.
Actual result:
--------------
An integer representing a UNIX timestamp exactly 2 hours in the future is
returned.
