There's a specification I'd like to implement that wants 48-bits of time. I apologize for being thick and shifting the wrong way in the original. I'm still not sure that the numbers output looked anything like what I expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-26 14:04:12] lewiscowles at me dot com edit* both zero's at beginning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-26 13:56:38] lewiscowles at me dot com I expected to see > 32-bits, it's the first line of the description of the bug-report. But looks like I suck because it does return > 32-bits if I shift right by one on PHP_INT_MAX The expected result was what I expected, although if it's a signed int, maybe there would be two zero's (one at beginning and one at end) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-26 13:45:35] danack@php.net What date or time, do you think: new DateTime(PHP_INT_MAX << 1); is meant to result in? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-26 13:44:22] requinix@php.net It works fine. https://3v4l.org/DigKO Do not use the regular date string parsing functions (eg, new DateTime and strtotime) with a Unix timestamp because they treat the input as a formatted time string. https://3v4l.org/K5cNb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
