Status: Closed
Bug Type: Date/time related
Operating System: windows NT4.0
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
What's the offical suggestion for getting UNIX timestamps for dates <
1970? Or is it not allowed to use them this way?
BTW: The offical PHP docs say, that dates between 1902 and 2037 are
_allowed_. But you say "so stay away from undefined value ranges"!?
Very strange.
Can you explain that to the users/developers community?

behaviour of unix timestamp functions for dates
before 1.1.1970 is simply undefined and depends
on the system *and* c library implementation you
use
so stay away from undefined value ranges :)

mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1969);
is return -1.
but in linux renturn valid value;
maybe before 1970 bug in win32 version.
