Summary: strtotime/DateTime object return incorrect results
for invalid date/times
-Status: Open
+Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Date/time related
Operating System: ALL
PHP Version: Irrelevant

New Comment:
Like mktime() and pretty much every other date handling functions in
PHP, strtotime() attempts to handle out of range input as best it can.
In this case, the zeroth month of the year is December the previous
year (ie the month before the first month of the year -- January) and
the zeroth day of that month is the last day of the previous month.
All of this works out to the last day of November the year before
2011, which obviously equates to November 30, 2010, which I presume
was the current date when you lodged this bug report in your time
zone.
Not a bug -> closing.

Description:
------------
When given an invalid date/time both strtotime and the DateTime object
returns the
current day at midnight instead
Test script:
---------------
[a...@nighe]$ php -r
'$x=strtotime("2011-00-00");printf("%s\n",date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$x));'
2010-11-30 00:00:00
[a...@nighe]$ php -r '$x=new DateTime("2011-00-00");var_dump($x);'
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(19) "2010-11-30 00:00:00"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(16) "America/New_York"
}
Expected result:
----------------
returns current day at midnight
Actual result:
--------------
strtotime should return FALSE
DateTime should throw an Exception.
