Description:
------------
I use strtotime to decode the If-Modified-Since header and just noticed that Firebird puts and offset in front of the "GMT". I don't know if this is RFC conform, but it should be recognized by strtotime(), IMHO.

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(strtotime('Sun, 21 Dec 2003 20:38:33 +0000 GMT'));

Expected result:
----------------
-1

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

You can either define the timezone by +dddd or by the 3-char identifier of that timezone. Your format isn\'t defined by the syntax - for further readings see http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar-1.12/html_chapter/tar_7.html

That doesn't mean we can't support it :)

The "+0000 GMT" format is also used by the Blackberry email client[s]. I've opened a ticket with them to fix the problem; however, because the issue seems to keep coming up, it should be parsed by the strtotime function even if it is not technically compliant.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Fixed for PHP 5.1.
