Results of testing on PHP-5.1-dev CVS (php5-200506222230), with various
format strings:
==============================================================
<?php
$formats = array ( // CHANGE : RESULT ON PHP-5.1-DEV
'%A, %B %e %Y at %r',// original: +1 week +12 hours
'%A %B %e %Y at %r', // remove comma: +1 week +12 hours
'%A %B %e %Y %r', // remove 'at': +1 week -2 hours
'%r %A %B %e %Y', // move %r to front: +1 week
'%r %B %e %Y' // remove the '%A' (day): -2 hours
);
foreach ($formats as $format) {
print "-------- $format -----------\n";
$timestr="Friday at 7pm";
print "Starting Value: '$timestr'\n";
for($x=1; $x<=10; $x++) {
$tStamp = strtotime($timestr);
$timestr=strftime($format,$tStamp);
print "x: $x; timestr: '$timestr'; tStamp: $tStamp\n";
}
}
?>

Ok I'll see about testing it agains the latest CVS if I have a chance.
A 100% php example is as follows:
<?
$timestr="Friday at 7pm";
print "Starting Value: '$timestr'\n";
for( $x=1; $x<=10; $x++) {
$timestr=strftime('%A, %B %e %Y at %r',strtotime($timestr));
print "The string is now: '$timestr'\n";
}
?>

Right. And I didn't ask you to upgrade the server. I asked to to try
the latest snapshot.
And I'd really appreciate if you provide a reproduce code without
HTML/forms/etc. Just a plain, short and clean PHP code that
demonstrates the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Description:
------------
It seems that strtotime is loosing time. I'm loosing 2 hours on every
call to it and I'm not sure why.
The issue seems to be with the "at" text in the format string but I am
unsure why the text "at" would make the timestamp lose exactly 2 hours.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$_REQUEST['event_time']=strftime('%A, %B %e %Y at
%r',strtotime($_REQUEST['event_time']));
?>
<form action='<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>'>
<input size='50' type='text' name='event_time'
value='<?=$_REQUEST['event_time']?>'
<input type="submit">
</form>
Expected result:
----------------
The output should be the formated representation from what was
inputted. If sumbit is clicked again without changed the text field
the value should not change since strtotime should generate a proper
and valid timestamp which strftime formats again.
Actual result:
--------------
Relative to today I type:
friday at 7pm
click submit and the value of the text box is now:
Friday, June 24 2005 at 05:00:00 PM
I don't type or change anything. Simply click submit again:
Friday, June 24 2005 at 03:00:00 PM
Every time I click submit the timestamp looses 2 hours.
