This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Before PHP 5.0, microseconds weren't allowed in the time, since PHP 5.0 they are allowed but ignored. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 14:07:30] rob at akrabat dot com I only added this because you said in bug 28717: "Yup the docs for this should be fixed too; but I'll do that after I fixed the code for PHP 5 ;-)". I assumed it had been forgotten in the general release process for PHP 5. The current manual page says: "The string to parse, according to the GNU Date Input Formats syntax" This is linked to http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_7.html where is it clear that fractional seconds are allowed. I've added a "User Contributed Note" anyway so hopefully other people won't waste as much time as I did wondering why it all went wrong when I swapped from mssql to odbc for connection to a MS SQL Server :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 13:02:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't think this necessary, nothing says that it should accept this format at all anyway. We can probably document all the formats it supports, but I'm not sure how useful that is... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-06 12:37:11] rob at akrabat dot com Description: ------------ According to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28717 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27551 fractional seconds are not supported for the time parameter in strtotime(). Please update the manual page to add a warning to users of PHP 4. Reproduce code: --------------- N/A. Code that reproduces the error is: <?php $date = '2000-01-01 00:00:00.000'; echo strtotime($date); ?> In PHP 4 this code returns -1 as documented in the referenced bugs. Expected result: ---------------- The manual page for strtotime() should have a warning about this issue for PHP4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34755&edit=1
