New Comment:
Until this behaviour is fixed so that now() means 'real now' and not
'GNU now' here is a workaround that works in both PHP 4 and PHP 5:
$real_now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$dt1 = strtotime($real_now -1 day);
$dt2 = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $dt1);

I've been using strtotime() to calculate relative shifts in time, ie.
$real_now = strtotime(2004-07-15 00:16:35);
$exactly_one_day_ago = strtotime(-1 day, $real_now);
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $exactly_one_day_ago)
Expecting 2004-07-14 00:16:35
but getting: 2004-07-14 00:00:00
I'm sure there's a way around this, but I'm really not that bright...
so I had to jump back to php4 for the time being.
So I also think that the now parameter should be real now, not GNU
now.

Will this bug be fixed before the final php5 release?
A lot of code will need rewriting before php5 is released if now is
going to changed.
Wouldn't it be better to have
today = Monday 12th of July 2004 12:00:00 AM
now = Monday 12th of July 2004 08:49:23 PM

The functionality is maintained in RC3.
I needs the realtime for logging of process. My workaround is to do
this:
$str=date('d F Y h:i:s A');
$timestamp = strtotime($str);
[2004-06-15 12:42:47] wb at pro-net dot co dot uk
So how would one, for example, use strtotime() to get the current time
+ 10 mins?

That's feasible for the rewrite, but for the current parser.

Just thought that i would point out that in PHP 4 now is real now and
not GNU now so form a BC point of view i think now should be real now.

Hi derick,
Yes that is strange, What about adding an optional parameter to the
function to set toggle between real now and gnu now?
Something like:
int strtotime ( string time [, int now] [, bool gnu = false])

Im seeing the same thing on FreeBSD 5 with PHP5 rc2.
code:
?php
$strtime = strtotime('now');
printf('
Now: %11s %s
Str time: %11s %s
'
, time()
, date('d M Y @ H:i:s ')
, $strtime
, date('d M Y @ H:i:s ', $strtime)
);
?
Expected:
Now: 1084875653 18 May 2004 @ 11:20:53
Str time: 1084875653 18 May 2004 @ 11:20:53
Actual:
Now: 1084875653 18 May 2004 @ 11:20:53
Str time: 1084834800 18 May 2004 @ 00:00:00
[2004-04-28 21:06:33] gamin at centras dot lt
Description:
Simple script... doesn't matter how much time i run it -
strototime(now) produces same result for whole day. On next month day
it produces same result. Seems i didn't have any problem on RC1.
Reproduce code:
---
$str = now;
$timestamp = strtotime($str);
echo $str == . date('l dS of F Y h:i:s A', $timestamp) . br
/\n;
$timestamp = time();
echo Good is . date('l dS of F Y h:i:s A', $timestamp) . br
/\n;
Expected result:
now == Wednesday 28th of April 2004 10:02:54 PM
Good is Wednesday 28th of April 2004 10:02:54 PM
