Note that on Linux kernels before 2.4.* the date functions in PHP will happily accept a date before 01-01-1970 as stated at the top of this man page, post kernel 2.4.* the date functions *do not* work with dates before 1970. If you've existing scripts doing date validation on dates before 1970, check them before you upgrade your kernel! ** Editor's note: This is actually a libc problem, and not a Kernel problem. -seanATphpDOTnet ** --was-- Note that on Linux kernels before 2.4.* the date functions in PHP will happily accept a date before 01-01-1970 as stated at the top of this man page, post kernel 2.4.* the date functions *do not* work with dates before 1970.
