ID: 43452 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: sean dot thorne at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4.11 PHP Version: 5.2CVS-2007-11-29 (CVS) Assigned To: derick New Comment:
I had second thoughts about the "timestamp" passed into strtotime(), so I tried to create the date in a slightly different way but it failed never the less. I can also confirm this on 5.2.6_2 on FreeBSD. Additional code: Works: <?php // 2008-12-02 echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first Tuesday December 2008')); ?> Does not: <?php // 2008-12-08 echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first Monday December 2008')); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-16 16:29:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry to re-open, I found the same bug on: PHP Version 5.2.6-pl6-gentoo Some code to reproduce: <?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first Monday', mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 1, 2008))); ?> Shows 2008-12-08, while indeed the first Monday in December is 2008-12-01. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-23 18:50:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-17 10:32:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yeah, and I've done some work on that -- but it's not ready yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-17 10:29:15] m dot ford at leedsmet dot ac dot uk Then there's a doc problem, because currently http://php.net/strtotime describes its first argument as "The string to parse, according to the GNU ยป Date Input Formats syntax", with a link to the GNU documentation. If strtotime() does not, in fact, implement the entirety of what's described there, exactly as described, then what's actually implemented should be incorporated into the PHP manual and that link removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-15 17:23:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assigning this to myself, but be aware that we do not necessarily implement this GNU date stuff -- we've never done this either. I'll check it though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
