[PHP-DOC] #19515 [NEW]: Parameters of function strtotime() seem wrong From: dallas <email protected>

Bug description: Parameters of function strtotime() seem wrong

Function strtotime() is defined as below:

int strtotime ( string time [, int now])

But when I try this function, whatever value I provide to 'now' seem no
affect to the result at all.
I've tried following example:

echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970"), "\n";
echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", 10000), "\n";
echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", time()), "\n";

and the result is(PHP 4.0.6, 4.2.3, 4.3.0, Linux, Windows):

18000
18000
18000

I'm in GMT-0500, so I guess the result is correct. But what exactly the
parameter 'now' for? I supposed strtotime() function behave correctly,
so 'now' is just meaningless.
