Hello,
I have a project that deals with the date time stamps since 1900 (and
past), any suggestions about a good class that handles Date Time
Format before 1970. I really like date() function and want something
similar.
date() uses Unix timestamps which on most Unix platforms goes from
-MAX_INT to MAX_INT which means the date range is actually
12:45:52 12/13/1901 to 07:14:07 01/18/2038. So you might be able to get
away with it.
You can check it with:
echo date("h:i:s m/d/Y",-2147483648);
echo date("h:i:s m/d/Y", 2147483647);
Windows, not being Unix, doesn't understand that the timestamp can be
negative, although I think someone fixed that in PHP 5. In my 11+ years
of PHP I have yet to run PHP on Windows, so I wouldn't know.
