Description:
------------
No matter what I do, strtotime can't seem to handle dates prior to
1970. The answer returned is always -1.
The manual doesn't indicate this fact.
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo phpversion();
echo "\n------------------\n";
$time1="1/1/1970";
$time2="31-dec-1969";
$time3="31-dec-1949";
echo strtotime($time1);
echo "\n";
echo strtotime($time2);
echo "\n";
echo strtotime($time3);
echo "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
4.3.2
-----------------
28800
-{some integer other than 1}
-{some bigger integer other than 1}
Actual result:
--------------
4.3.2
------------------
28800
-1
-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
