However, this is not specified in the documentation. The reason this isn't "obvious" is because some languages allow you to specify the range of conversion, and others seem to use a different range. --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.date --- Test script: --------------- <?php for ($x = 10; $x <= 99; $x++) { $dateString = "1/1/$x"; echo "$dateString: " . DateTime::createFromFormat("m/d/y", $dateString)->format("Y") . "<br>"; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78591&edit=1
