Description:
------------
strtotime converts dates into nice handlable integers. This should work on ALL dates. I can see no reason whatsoever why it should cease half way through a century! Its a bit too much like the millenium bug!

And as such IS a bug.

Alex


Reproduce code:
---------------
$defaultdate = strtotime("01 January 2050");
echo $defaultdate;



Expected result:
----------------
expected result would be an integer NOT -1.

Actual result:
--------------
-1

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
