[php-maint] Bug#709023: libapache2-mod-php5filter: $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] returns miliseconds instead of seconds

[bailey86]

Package: libapache2-mod-php5filter
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Installed a Drupal website and had the error:

SQLSTATE[22003]: Numeric value out of range: 1264

when trying to log in for the first time.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I did a quick and dirty fix by adding in php.ini auto_prepend_file=/somepath/prepend.php and inside that file:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] = time();

Then restarted apache.

But I actually solved the problem for myself by installing the package libapache2-mod-php5 which replaced the package
libapache2-mod-php5filter.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

By replacing the package it was fixed for me - but obviously the bug is still in libapache2-mod-php5filter.

An easy way to test for this problem is to create a simple PHP page with just phpinfo() in it.  You can then view the value for
_SERVER["REQUEST_TIME"].  The value returned should be in the range of 1369042834 which is the number of seconds since the epoch
 - if the number is much larger then the value is being returned in millseconds or microseconds which is incorrect.  See:

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

BTW - it looks like 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] = time();

is wrong as well - it should probably return something like 1369044192.707 but again it looks like milliseconds are being
returned.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
