Description:
------------
So - we see in manual strtotime() should working great with all formats from http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php so if we run:
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2008')); //return current date with the wrong time - 2014-05-28 20:08:00

So we can't use strtotime(date('Y')) so we should add month:
strtotime(date('Y-m')) - then it works.

Test script:
---------------
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2008'));

Expected result:
----------------
2008-01-01 00:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
2014-05-28 20:08:00 //invalid date with modified time

Not necessarily. It shows you all the formats that can be parsed but that doesn't mean each one by itself is suitable for use.
#### matches against HHMM first. strtotime('1999') will give you the kind of result you're looking for.

You want mktime(): date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2008))

By that I mean it gives you a timestamp from that year. It won't be for midnight on January 1st but instead copies the current time's components.
