From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Debian 3.1/Kernel 2.6.7 PHP version: 5.1.0RC4 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: strtotime no longer ignores timezone comments like (EST)
Description: ------------ A number of mail clients or mail generating scripts generate Date: headers that use the following format: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 22:56:10 -0800 (PST) The final part - " (PST)" is not required (and probably technically invalid) by the date format described in RFC 2822, however, it's also probably valid as a header comment. Prior to the 5.1 branch, PHP's strtotime simply ignored comments in this style; however, with 5.1, it causes strtotime to fail and return false. Valid or invalid I think it'd be good for PHP to ignore these and just parse the rest of the date. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $date = 'Sun, 13 Nov 2005 22:56:10 -0800 (PST)'; $date_fixed = 'Sun, 13 Nov 2005 22:56:10 -0800'; var_dump(strtotime($date)); var_dump(strtotime($date_fixed)); Expected result: ---------------- int(1131951370) int(1131951370) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) int(1131951370) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35218&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35218&r=mysqlcfg
