Re: [SMARTY-DEV] html_select_date bug - maybe ?

to my knowledge it uses smarty_make_timestamp which uses strottime *only* when no time-attribute in the format "YYYY-MM-DD" is given. so if you pass a time-attribute in the correct format it should work fine for dates before 1970. that's what my tests tell me. greetings messju On Wed, Dec 10, 2003 at 11:14:22AM -0600, Monte Ohrt wrote: > It uses strtotime(), so only 1970-2038 dates work correctly.
