Bug description: strtotime returns a timestamp for non-time string of pattern
'(A|a) .+'
Description:
------------
strtotime return the current timestamp for the values 'A Revolution in
Development' and 'a nothing'. Expected return value is false. This seems to
be tripped by the first character being the letter 'a' or 'A' followed by a
space followed by more text.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo strtotime('Ask the Experts');
echo strtotime('A ');
echo strtotime('A');
echo strtotime('a ');
echo strtotime('a');
echo strtotime('A Revolution in Development');
echo strtotime('a nothing');
Expected result:
----------------
false
false
false
false
false
false
false
Actual result:
--------------
false
false
false
false
false
current timestamp
current timestamp
