Problem with strtotime() using (+x hour)

[kumschick]

hi, i have a big problem with strtotime()

There is a big bug with strtotime() in php 5.0.0; 5.0.1 and 5.0.2.

In PHP 5 up to 5.0.2, "now" and other relative times are wrongly computed from today's midnight. It differs from other versions where it is correctly computed from current time.

I need a script that does the same and also works on php5 to 5.0.2

this doesn't work!
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); echo"<br>";
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("+6 day"));

If you look in the users' notes in the strtotime() manual section there's a function posted by "phpnotes at majiclab dot com". I can't test it on the versions in question, but it looks like it should work, and it produces the correct result on both earlier and later versions.

There has also been an important announcement at the top of the forum for the last couple of months about serious security issues regarding PHP 5, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2.

(Your code works in 5.0.3; someone noticed the bug before, confirmed it, and logged it in PHP's bug tracker. The changelog for PHP5.0.3 notes "Fixed bug #28209 (strtotime("now")). (Derick)". Just giving you pointers to some additional resources for next time you reckon you've found a bug in PHP.)
