[CLOSED][2.2.1] parseDate("9999-99-99")

[chkuek]

Hi, I did following codes:

Date.parseDate("9999-99-99", "Y-m-d")

and output is : Thu Jun 07 10007 00:00:00 GMT+0800 (Malay Peninsula Standard Time)

I'm not sure is it designed in this way, but I actually expect it returns me error message which indicates that this date is invalid.

Can someone confirmed to me whether it is a bug? If not, may I know the reasons for it to behave this way?

This is not a bug. The date roll-over is by design.

In Ext 3 parseDate has a third parameter (strict) that you can set to true to return 'null' for invalid dates.

I see. Thank you very much for the replies.

the strict option is also available in 2.3.0.

Thanks mystix, but too bad we are using version 2.2.1.
