Bug description: strtotime inconsistently parses M-j-Y and Y-M-j format dates
Description:
------------
M-j-Y format dates are parsed correctly if the day is 10-31, but as M-j-Hi
if the day is 1-9. Or, you could say that M-j-Hi format dates are parsed
correctly if the day is 1-9, but incorrectly if the day is 10-31.
Y-M-j format dates are parsed correctly if the day is 10-31, but as Y-M in
the timezone UTC-j if the day is 1-9. Or, you could say that this odd
method of specifying the time zone fails for UTC-10, UTC-11, and so on.
Both M-d-Y and Y-M-d formats are parsed correctly for all days.
I would find it more consistent if the M-j-Y and Y-M-j formats were
recognized for all days, as the other option would conflict with M-d-Y and
Y-M-d recognition and both "M-j-Hi" and "Y-M"-with-timezone seem to be
unlikely input formats.
This bug is also present in PHP 5.2.6.
Reproduce code:
---------------
date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("Dec-9-2006"));
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("9-Dec-2006"));
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("2006-Dec-9"));
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("Dec-10-2006"));
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("10-Dec-2006"));
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n", strtotime("2006-Dec-10"));
Expected result:
