In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. The error is more descriptive now. The cause for this problem is that you are trying to generate a date string based on a timestamp earlier then Jan 1 1970, which something that is not supported by Win32. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 15:01:06] k.schroeder@php.net Running ext/standard/tests/time/002.phpt on W2k server produce a warning: "Warning: date() [/phpmanual/function.date.html]: Unexpected error ..."
