Or is it not allowed to use them this way? BTW: The offical PHP docs say, that dates between 1902 and 2037 are _allowed_. But you say "so stay away from undefined value ranges"!? Very strange. Can you explain that to the users/developers community? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-18 05:55:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] behaviour of unix timestamp functions for dates before 1.1.1970 is simply undefined and depends on the system *and* c library implementation you use so stay away from undefined value ranges :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-18 02:31:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1969); is return -1. but in linux renturn valid value; maybe before 1970 bug in win32 version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13726&edit=1
