Bug description: strtotime no longer working with ordinal suffix
Description:
------------
In PHP4.3, strtotime() will parse days of the month with and ordinal
suffix, in the format "Sat 26th Nov 2005 18:18", however this is no longer
possible in PHP5.1. The same string without the ordinal suffix ("Sat 26 Nov
2005 18:18") returns a timestamp as expected.
I apologize in advance if this should now be listed as a feature request
instead of a bug. In version 4.0.5 this problem was reported as a bug
(#15210) when in fact the parsing of ordinals was not actually a feature
at the time. Following that, the feature was added in CVS and was still
working at version 4.3.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$tWithOrd = "Sat 26th Nov 2005 18:18";
$tWithoutOrd = "Sat 26 Nov 2005 18:18";
$UtimeWithOrd = strtotime($tWithOrd);
$UtimeWithoutOrd = strtotime($tWithoutOrd);
print("time string with ordinal suffix: $tWithOrd<br>");
print("time string without ordinal suffix: $tWithoutOrd<br><br>");
print("UNIX timestamp from time string with ordinal suffix:
$UtimeWithOrd<br>");
print("UNIX timestamp from time string without ordinal suffix:
$UtimeWithoutOrd<br><br>");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Both variables $UtimeWithOrd and $UtimeWithoutOrd should contain a UNIX
timestamp, printing it to screen with the last two lines.
Actual result:
--------------
Only the variable $UtimeWithoutOrd contains a timestamp. $UtimeWithOrd is
empty and prints nothing.
