(ie allow bigger values which will translate back and forth properly up to the year 9999?) Otherwise we will all find outselves with a Y2K-like date nightmare! eg: currently: echo mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2099); outputs -1 and putting any number past 2147483648 into date() wont give you anything past Tuesday 19 January 2038 05:11 Thanks! regards, Keith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=10160&edit=1
