mktime() problem

Hi there, does anybody know, if the behaviour of mktime() on RedHat Linux > 7.2 is fixed in one of the latest PHP versions? Since RH 7.3 it is not possible anymore, to get a negative integer from mktime(), that means you can't get a UNIX timestamp for a date before 1.1.1970....I experienced this problem with PHP 4.2.2 For a more detailed description, have a look at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70375 BTW: The PHP docs say, that the valid range for years is (or now "should be") between 1902 and 2037. -- michael liquid bytes technologies www.liquidbytes.net
