Description:
------------
Hi,


in addition to bug #38524 I'd prefer initializing call to strptime in a more useful way. While it is easiest way to memset all with 0's, some fields like tm_mon can't be interpreted properly. 

My proposal uses 0xFF for initialization to get all values set -1.

Then in addition, I add array element value NULL on every field that wasn't touched by strptime. I consider this to be quite common behaviour in PHP ...

Below is my proposal for a patch on latest CVS snapshot.


Best Regards,

Thomas Urban

Given that strptime() is deprecated as of PHP 8.1.0 anyway, I
don't see the point in changing the behavior now.
