ID: 34755 User updated by: rob at akrabat dot com Reported By: rob at akrabat dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment:
I only added this because you said in bug 28717: "Yup the docs for this should be fixed too; but I'll do that after I fixed the code for PHP 5 ;-)". I assumed it had been forgotten in the general release process for PHP 5. The current manual page says: "The string to parse, according to the GNU Date Input Formats syntax" This is linked to http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_7.html where is it clear that fractional seconds are allowed. I've added a "User Contributed Note" anyway so hopefully other people won't waste as much time as I did wondering why it all went wrong when I swapped from mssql to odbc for connection to a MS SQL Server :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 13:02:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't think this necessary, nothing says that it should accept this format at all anyway. We can probably document all the formats it supports, but I'm not sure how useful that is... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 12:37:11] rob at akrabat dot com Description: ------------ According to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28717 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27551 fractional seconds are not supported for the time parameter in strtotime(). Please update the manual page to add a warning to users of PHP 4. Reproduce code: --------------- N/A. Code that reproduces the error is: <?php $date = '2000-01-01 00:00:00.000'; echo strtotime($date); ?> In PHP 4 this code returns -1 as documented in the referenced bugs. Expected result: ---------------- The manual page for strtotime() should have a warning about this issue for PHP4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34755&edit=1
