This note has been deleted; you should ask questions etc. on the
mailing list at php-general@lists.php.net--the manual notes system is
for submissions of text to be included in the manual, not as a
question-and-answer forum. Please make sure to read the instructions
at http://www.php.net/manual/add-note.php
before adding another note.
Anyway, Unix time is counted by a single 32-bit integer, representing
the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (0:00 Jan 1 1970, UTC). The
number of seconds you can count with a 32-bit int runs out in early
2038, IIRC. Hope that helps.
