Operating system: Win32 / Solaris 8
PHP version: 5.1.2
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: strtotime() fails to parse dates in dd/mm/yyyy format
Description:
------------
Specifiying a date in the format 31/12/2005 fails to parse however the
American format 12/31/2005 works.
This works in PHP 5.0.4 on Solaris 8 but no longer works with the
strtotime() changes in 5.1.2.
Some more testing revealed that various formats do not work when the day
precedes the month e.g. 31-12-2005 that used to work in 5.0.4.
(We are aware that this does not necessarily produce sensible results e.g.
strtotime("31/12/2005") != strtotime("12/31/2005") even in 5.0.4 although
it seems that it should at least still *work* in the same way...)
If you need any more information please let me know.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
print strtotime("31/12/2005");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
1184162400
Actual result:
--------------
nothing
