strtotime doesn't support 64 bit timestamps

[Guillermo Pérez]

Binary package hint: php5

PHP bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44209 is affecting latest feisty/hardy php packages (5.2.1/5.2.4-2ubuntu4). Now they have fixed it in CVS. Is possible to get this fixed in ubuntu's PHP packages? At least for next hardy. Thx a lot

Description:
------------
strtotime() of years >2038 or <1900 does not work on 64 bit platforms,
that should not have problems with those dates. The rest of php
functions work properly with those extended dates.

Reproduce code:
---------------
On 64 bit platforms php date functions support greater range of dates.
For exampe:

<?= date('d-m-Y',time()[phone]) ?>
Returns:
3007-06-25

But strtotime does not work with those improved date ranges:

<?= date('Y-m-d',strtotime('3007-06-25')) ?>
Returns:
1970-01-01

I understand that output on 32 bit platforms, but on 64 bit should work
as the rest of functions, and return a valid 64bit timestamp for dates
>2038 or <1900.

Hi-

I grabbed the patch from PHP upstream from http://marc.info/?l=php-cvs&m=120367371119481&w=2 and built a new php5 package for Hardy.

However, there were several regression tests in the PHP suite which failed. See the differences: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?diff=f768e161f

I opened a new bug with PHP: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44219

I'd like to get these test regressions sorted out before updating Hardy's php5.

Updated php5 with the upstream 64-bit time fixes, as well as the associated automated tests.

Tested, no regressions.

Attached debdiff for Hardy inclusion.
