In doing some Birthdate manipulations I came across the following anomoly:
<?
echo "this seems to work:<br>";
$vis='2002-01-22';
list($y,$m,$d)=explode("-",$vis);
$thisv=date("M j, Y", mktime(0,0,0,intval($m), intval($d), intval($y)));
echo "date $vis [$m/$d/$y] => $thisv<br>";
echo "<p>so does this:<br>";
$vis='1970-01-01';
list($y,$m,$d)=explode("-",$vis);
$thisv=date("M j, Y",mktime(0,0,0,intval($m), intval($d), intval($y)));
echo "date $vis [$m/$d/$y] => $thisv<br>";
echo "<p>SO... why not this?<br>";
$vis='1928-07-10';
list($y,$m,$d)=explode("-",$vis);
$thisv=date("M j, Y",mktime(0,0,0,intval($m),intval($d),intval($y)));
echo "date $vis [$m/$d/$y] => $thisv<br>";
echo "<p>or this?<br>";
$vis='1969-12-30';
list($y,$m,$d)=explode("-",$vis);
$thisv=date("M j, Y",mktime(0,0,0,intval($m), intval($d), intval($y)));
echo "date $vis [$m/$d/$y] => $thisv<br>";
?>
with the following output:
this seems to work:
date 2002-01-22 [01/22/2002] => Jan 22, 2002
and this?
date 1970-01-01 [01/01/1970] => Jan 1, 1970
SO... why not this?
date 1928-07-10 [07/10/1928] => Dec 31, 1969
or this?
date 1969-12-30 [12/30/1969] => Dec 31, 1969
-----------
it seems mktime() cannot handle dates earlier than dec 31, 1969? Has anyone else noticed this? This
seems to me a pretty serious bug!
I am using PHP V4.1.2 if that makes a difference.
