Bug description: support for new format of milliseconds in strtotime()
Description:
------------
The default datestring format returned by MS-SQL 2000 through the MS-SQL
support in PHP 5.2.3 (Ubuntu package) using the provided FreeTDS library
contains milliseconds that are separated with a colon, not a dot. This
breaks the parsing of the datestring in strtotime(), which only seems to
allow milliseconds separated by a dot. For compatibility it would be great
if strtotime() also could parse these strings.
This is the format returned by MS-SQL 2000 from a datetime column:
Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000AM
I hereby request that strtotime() should be able to parse this string,
with our without the AM/PM (using 12 h or 24 h-format). For compatibility
issues it would probably also be good if strtotime() could parse the string
Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000AM, since it for now doesn't allow the 12 h-format
together with milliseconds.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00:000");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00.000");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00:00AM");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007");
echo "TIME: ".strtotime("Aug 27 2007 12:00AM");
Expected result:
----------------
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
Actual result:
--------------
TIME:
TIME:
TIME:
TIME: 1188205200
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
TIME: 1188162000
