Operating system: WinXP
PHP version: 4.3.8
PHP Bug Type: Date/time related
Bug description: strtotime does not parse dates before 1-1-1970
Description:
------------
strtotime still fails (as of version 4.3.8) to appropriately parse dates
prior to 1-1-1970 in Windows builds. Reproducable with dates in various
formats: MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD.
Validation/conversion of dates prior to 1970 are frequently needed for
applications that accept user input for birthdates.
Reproduce code:
---------------
print strtotime('04/28/1964');
print strtotime('4/28/64');
print strtotime('1964-04-28');
print strtotime('28/4/1964');
Expected result:
----------------
expect timestamps with the appropriate value (instead of -1);
Actual result:
--------------
-1
-1
-1
-1
