Bug description: Converting Normal time to Unix time
Description:
------------
Basically, I wanted to take a normal time stamp that is in the form of
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and convert it to Unix format using the Date function.
The last $myDate variable should match the initial date, but it doesn't
work.
It would be nice if PHP had more support for normal date formats instead
of forcing ppl to convert to unix time.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$myDate = 20041110113800 // 2004, Nov 10, 11:38:00
echo "The date in normal form: $myDate";
echo "<BR>";
$myDate = date("U",$myDate);
echo "The date in Unix format: $myDate";
echo "<BR>";
// added 00 for seconds since PHP has nothing for seconds
$myDate = date("YmdHi",$myDate)."00";
echo "The date in Normal format again: $myDate";
Expected result:
----------------
The date in normal form: 20041110113800
The date in Unix format: 1100086680
The date in Normal format again: 20041110113800
Actual result:
--------------
The date in normal form: 20041110113800
The date in Unix format: 792710664
The date in Normal format again: 19950213132400
