#47470 [Bgs]: mktime fails for dates > 2038

ID: 47470 User updated by: mb at smartftp dot com Reported By: mb at smartftp dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows 2008 64-bit PHP Version: 5.2.8 New Comment: On Windows time_t is defined as a 64-bit integer. Therefore the valid range is > 2038. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-22 19:03:49] mb at smartftp dot com Your documentation says otherwise: Reference: http://ch.php.net/mktime year The number of the year, may be a two or four digit value, with values between 0-69 mapping to 2000-2069 and 70-100 to 1970-2000. On systems where time_t is a 32bit signed integer, as most common today, the valid range for year is somewhere between 1901 and 2038. However, before PHP 5.1.0 this range was limited from 1970 to 2038 on some systems (e.g. Windows). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-22 18:03:59] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
