This makes other PHP functions like date() to return Jan 1 1970 on the "faulty" timestamp -1. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $usernaiss = date("d/m/Y", strtotime("Dec 31 1969 12:00AM")); echo "<html>\n"; echo "<head></head>\n"; echo "<body>\n"; echo "Date de naissance: " . $usernaiss . "<br>\n"; echo "</body>\n"; echo "</html>\n"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25233&edit=1
