While it makes easy to format the VT_Date with Date($format,$timestamp) it does not alow to retrieve dates < 1970 from a COM:VT_Date variable for VT_Date < 1970 (year) ,$DOB->Value return -1 ... Reproduce code: --------------- $query = new COM("DICOMobjects.DICOMQuery") ; //settings to Query the Dicom Server" $query->node="localhost"; $query->port="104"; $query->CallingAE="Client"; $query->CalledAE="Server"; $query->Name="*"; //tell the query to return any patient $result = $query->DoQuery;//starts the query $results = $query->Count;//number of items returned for($i=1;$i<$results+1;$i++) { $Attrib=$answer->Attributes; $DOB = $Attrib->ItemByIndex(4);//Date of birth of the patient echo $DOB->value."<br>"; //is a VT_Date an returns a Timestamp echo date("d/m/Y",$DOB->value)."<br>"; //formats the timestamp } Expected result: ---------------- the returned timestamp should not be -1 for dates < 1970 that makes the date unaccessible , and even for dates>1970 the timestamp should be given from 1901 and not 1970 like it is now Actual result: -------------- A timestamp starting from 1901 and not 1970.
