Summary: strtotime() returns inconsistent output on 64 bit
systems

And you get false in 32-bit systems because year 0 falls outside the
supported
range that fits in a 32-bit signed integer. The range for 32-bit covers
about 136
years starting at 1901-12-13 and ending at 2038-01-19

PHP uses the version of the proleptic Gregorian calendar specified by
ISO 8601, which does include a year 0 (equivalent to 1 BC in the
traditional Gregorian calendar).

Thanks for the incredibly prompt reply.
That makes sense, except that to the best of my knowledge the year zero
is not valid in either the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
I had assumed that strtotime would return FALSE for invalid dates. On
my 32 bit Ubuntu system, this appears to the case.
strtotime("2011-01-32") returns FALSE, as opposed to returning the
timestamp for "2011-02-01".
An in depth reading of the documentation did not clarify how strtotime()
should be expected to handle invalid date strings.

This is expected. On 64-bit systems the date range supported is much
larger than
on 32-bit systems.

Description:
------------
---
>From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strtotime

strtotime() produces different output on 32 and 64 bit systems running
PHP 5.3.
This affects the "zero date" ("0000-00-00 00:00:00") as well as dates
outside the
traditional 32 date range.
strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00") returns FALSE on a 32 bit system.
strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00") returns -62169955200 on a 64 bit
system.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_export(strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00"));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
On 64 bit systems, I would expect strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00") to
return
FALSE as it does on 32 bit systems.
Actual result:
--------------
On 64 bit systems, strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00") returns
-62169955200.
