You're facing two individual problems.
1) The furthest date back that strtotime() supports in PHP4 is 1970 or 1901 (depending on your
system). In PHP4, strtotime() returns -1 instead of false when it fails. That's what's
doing for you.
2) The date() function also has the same timeframe limitations.
