Thank you for your bug report.

The string you supply, 200910, is not a complete date. Why do you think this should return 2009-10-01?
 [2009-11-01 20:35 UTC] sjoerd@php.net 
Strtotime('200910') creates a correct timestamp on today, with a time of 20:09:10.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

"200910" gets parsed as 20:09:10 and not 2009-10:

derick@kossu:~$ php -r 'var_dump(date_parse("200910"));'
array(12) {
  ["year"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["month"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["day"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["hour"]=>
  int(20)
  ["minute"]=>
  int(9)
  ["second"]=>
  int(10)
  ["fraction"]=>
  float(0)
  ["warning_count"]=>
  int(0)
  ["warnings"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["error_count"]=>
  int(0)
  ["errors"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["is_localtime"]=>
  bool(false)
}
