#36338 [NEW]: Integer Timestamps are not enough!
From: carsten dot moldenhauer at mailbox dot tu-dresden dot de
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 5.1.2
PHP Bug Type: Date/time related
Bug description: Integer Timestamps are not enough!
Description:
------------
Hello PHP Team.
I recently discovered a problem with standard timestamps. They are stored
as integers. Integers have a range up to 2147483647.
date( "Y-m-d H:i:s", 2147483647 ) results in:
2038-01-19 04:14:07
If you got a date after 2038 in text format and want to convert it to
integer, you will get back 2147483647. So you are back in 2038 again.
I would dislike to see all the time related PHP applications break on the
above date.
Is there any possibility to switch timestamps to long?
(btw, the same occurs with dates before 1901-12-13 21:45:52 which is date(
"Y-m-d H:i:s, -2147483648 ))
I am looking forward to your answers.
