#23475 [Opn->Fbk]: mktime() of dates before 1 jan 1970 gives a timestamp of "-3662"

ID: 23475 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: guy dot mersch at pandora dot be -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: But that's not a bug in PHP, but more in your glibc :) Which version of glibc do you use? AFAIK the 2.3.x series return an undefined value for dates smaller than 1 - 1 - 1970, much like Windows does.
