|
The function expects to be given a string containing an English date
|
|
format and will try to parse that format into a UNIX timestamp relative
|
|
to the timestamp given in <parameter>now</parameter>, or the current time
|
|
if none is supplied. Upon failure, <literal>-1</literal> is returned.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Because <function>strtotime</function> behaves according to GNU
|
|
date syntax, have a look at the GNU manual page titled
|
|
<ulink url="&url.gnu.man.date-input;">Date Input Formats</ulink>.
|
|
Described there is valid syntax for the <parameter>time</parameter>
|
|
parameter.

The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec
|
|
1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are
|
|
the dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for
|
|
a 32-bit signed integer.)
