Description:
------------
I have code which uses human readable text to generate dates for use in
a task management program which stores due dates in a MySQL database.
I have been using the strtotime() function for some months with no
problem. Now that it is near a change in daylight savings time, I'm
finding some odd behavior.
It is currently Friday October 24, 2003.
When I enter "tuesday", the function returns 10-27-2003, not 10-28-2003
as it should. For a sanity check, I also entered "today + 4 days"
which correctly returned 10-28-2003. If I enter "Saturday" or
"Sunday", it correctly returns 10-25-2003 and 10-26-2003 respectively.
Anything after Sunday is off by one day.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$date_in = $_POST['date_in'];
$date_out = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date_in));
PRINT<<<END
<H3>strtotime( ) tester</H3>
<PRE>
Input: $date_in
Output: $date_out
</PRE>
<FORM ACTION="datetest.phtml" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="Text" SIZE="20" NAME="date_in" VALUE="$date_in"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Test Date">
</FORM>
END;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
That it returns the correct calendar date
Actual result:
--------------
It returns one day off, as explained in the description above. I also
tested this bug on a second machine running PHP 4.3.2 with the same
result.
