#40717 [Asn]: date "01-01-1968" inaccessible via date function

ID: 40717 User updated by: manuel dot pinhao at nvisible dot pt Reported By: manuel dot pinhao at nvisible dot pt Status: Assigned Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.1 Assigned To: derick New Comment: Yes, this seems to be a windows-only problem. I've tested it on Linux and it works as expected. Regarding DST, I'm no expert on this matter, but DST could probably 'bump' time one hour forwards or backwards, not lose a whole day. As for testing 6-7 AM, I wasn't able to target any hours in 01-01-1968.
