Description:
------------
Strtotime returns false if a TAB is contained in the time string as in the following examples.

Not sure if it's a bug, but the behiavour has changed.

We had a mistiped line of code with a TAB in many projects, that's why we noticed it ;)

I suggest an internal replacement of \t, \r, \n as whitespaces

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(strtotime("-2 hours"));

(with a TAB beetween '-2' and 'hours')

Expected result:
----------------
int(1140769426)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
