I seems to me that we're rapidly apporaching another Y2K event. The date-function only handles
dates up to 2038, and this is only some 30 years away. Even today is it impossible to use date() to
represent my children's 50 years birthday.
Just think about it, when you're designing your code.
[ed.: This limitation is gone in PHP 5.1 and higher, although PHP itself limits integers still to
32bit]
