Description:
------------
This doesn't seem to fall into the same category as the other strtotime() bugs I found in the system.  Here is an example:

$ php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow"));'
Sat Jan 26 13:50:04 2008

If I add a colon to the time ("09:00 tomorrow"), or exchange the date and time ("tomorrow 0900"), it produces the expected result. I don't know quite what's going on here.  Note that Perl's Time::ParseDate::parsedate function handles such strings properly.

The expected and actual output below are only for the particular moment when I tried it; they will vary depending on the time of the test.

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow"));

Expected result:
----------------
Wed Aug 10 09:00:00 2005


Actual result:
--------------
Sat Jan 26 13:50:04 2008

The latest CVS snapshot (200508091630) handles the problem string better, but still not perfectly - it gets the date right but ignores the hour:

$ ./sapi/cli/php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("0900 tomorrow"));'
Wed Aug 10 00:00:00 2005

The latest snapshot also ignores the time in the colon'ed version ("09:00 tomorrow"), whereas 5.0.3 got that right:

$ php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("09:00 tomorrow"));' #5.0.3
Wed Aug 10 09:00:00 2005
$ ./sapi/cli/php -r 'echo strftime("%c\n", strtotime("09:00 tomorrow"));' #200508091630
