I have always used strtotime, then strftime but it doesn't work if someone
was born in 1939. strtotime returns -1.
What function would you use to take the input string "1939/11/23" and get
the timestamp so I can use functions like strftime or date.
You'll have to tear it apart and do the math youself. Current year minus
the first four digits. If current month/day is less than month/day from
string, then subtract one (hasn't reached birthday yet).
If you're storing these dates in a database, you can use your query to
calculate the age (unless it used unix timestamps, also).
