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

"YYYY-MM-DD" is the format I'm using Its just the dates are spurios when pre 1950's which is strange pete Messju Mohr wrote:

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. It wouldn't be so difficult to create a replacement plugin that uses Date_Calc from PEAR, which is consequently a library I contributed some time back. :) Monte On Wed, 2003-12-10 at 10:13, pete M wrote:

smarty 2.5.0 I'm using html_select_date to enter peoples birth dates in my application. I understand the problem with epoch time and have used the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' to store in database/variable/etc and using a modified version of 'date_format' to present the date. However 'html_select_date' gives spurious date/month values pre 1970's eg giving 1945-02-01 to html_select_date displays 1945-01-01 Indeed anything pre 1970's seems to give spurios errors with the date or month values (year seems to be correct) Is this because the timestamp is not handled correctly or should I not be using html_select_date for pre 1970 ?? Hope it makes sense tia Pete
