Howdy,
I would assume this to be a common problem, but as I wrote to this
list myself a couple of days ago I was only aware of it's existence on
windows systems. Here's some sample code
1 <?php
2 $date = strtotime('12 feb 1950');
3 print $date.': '.date('r', $date)."\n";
4 $date = mktime(0,0,0,2,12,1950);
5 print $date.': '.date('r', $date)."\n";
6 ?>
And this is it's output:
-1: Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:59:59 +0100
-3662: Wed, 31 Dec 1969 23:58:58 +0100
My search on google didn't help me out, the docs say that it should
work and I can remember me having used such code and got it working.
Please fella's, what am I missing?
Wouter
