I was actually contacted on this issue once, and sent a corrected reply
as
follows. Keep in mind, this issue only occurs in _Windows_ versions of
PHP
including PHP 4.0.1pl2 and 4.0.2. UNIX varients do not seem effected.:
I've written a specific script to show this issue:
--- cut ---
<?php
for ( $i = 1900; $i < 2050; $i++) {
$datep = "$i-01-01";
print "Trying: $datep ... ";
print date("F j, Y", strtotime($datep));
print "<BR>"; // For clean display sake only
}
?>
--- cut ---
I also tested this with dates in 12-31, and 1969 failed, so 1970-01-01
is
the lowest possible date:

It seems likely that the date() function uses internal calls within the
O/S
somehow on Windows, as this would correlate to what Windows/MSDOS is
(in)capable of doing. However, it hardly seems to be a desirable
side-effect
in a production quality programming language. Anyhow, let me know if
there
is other documentation you need from me.

Your example code was buggy, below corrected one:
<?php
function parseDate($date,$format) {
$dateString = date($format , strtotime($date));
return $dateString;
}
$db_birth_date = "1969-09-13 00:00:00";
$birth_date = parseDate($db_birth_date,"F j, Y");
echo $birth_date;
?>
And this works just like it should (in Linux)..
Please try this and report back.
