Note Submitter: Raphael Kirchner ---- @Evorg, expiration date in "the past" By using mktime(1,0,0,1, 1, 1990) to get a timestamp that's "in the past" you're only almost there: You could use mktime(1,0,0,1, 1, 1970) which is even more "in the past". And this returns the timestamp 0 (zero) because it's defined as the starting point of timestamp counting (Thu 1970-01-01 01:00:00). So you can (and should) dump the unnecessary function call and directly define the "expired in the past"-timestamp as 0. BTW: You should't go beyond that (i.e. negative timestamp values) because not all systems support that.
