>From bug #722475:

- Bug 722470 is a result of our version of PHP. To fix this we will need
to go to PHP 5.3 as there is no other fix. Is that correct?

Anthony, I don't think we're 100% sure about the cause of the problem.
Hugh's saying that it's likely due to your OS having a different
strptime implementation to the one we're used to.

Simply moving to PHP 5.3 won't help, because the code on that page is
still using the strptime function.  So one way to fix the problem would
be to make PHP 5.3 a requirement for Mahara, and then rewrite the page
to use date_parse_from_format() instead of strptime().

Another way to fix it on PHP 5.2 (hinted at in bug #564001) would be to
modify your code to use the workaround strptime function that's included
in view/access.php (it's included there for Windows users who don't have
strptime at all).

Title:
  From/To Date Validation not working for VIEWS

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Mahara: 1.3.3
  SunOS java 5.11
  PHP 5.2.6
  MySQL
  Chrome 9.0.597.102, Mozilla 3.6.13, Safari 5.0.3

  When you go to EDIT ACCESS for a particular View and add any of the following:
  - Public
  - Logged In Users
  - Friends
  - Secret URL
  - A particular individual

  AND include a FROM and TO Date where the FROM date IS before the TO
  Date and the TO Date is in the future, you receive an error message:
  "The stop date cannot be in the past" which is clearly not correct.
