You always use a 4 digit year 2. mktime order of arguments i.e. hours,minutes,seconds,months,days,years 3. Output date format on date() function 4. There are problems with dates pre 1970 AND pre 1901, (pre 1970 is pre unixtime, pre 1901 is pre phptime). I had problems with pre 1901 dates which the calendar module solved ( see jdtojulian, juliantojd)
