When I strtotime("0000-00-00 00:00:00") in the Linux Box I get -62170020000,
when I do it on the windows box it returns NULL. Maybe this is the root of the
issue, at least when it returns NULL it converts to 1970-01-01 10:00:00

After a search of the web I have uncovered that other users experience this in
lots of 5+ versions of PHP on 64-bit *unix OS's.
If its a 64 bit OS, strtotime should detect if its a ZERO date value (as mysql
uses as default value etc) ie. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and return the 1970 value as
my Windows machine does.
By the way my Windows Machine is a 64-Bit Windows 7 machine with XAMPP, and it
returns a 1970 date. Please Fix this as we have a LOT of code that relies on
strtotime's ability.

Hi I have noticed that when i use zero date in windows it converts to the
expected 1970 date however on our Centos 5 Server it fails.
See live script http://amo2.flsecure.com/testdate.php
Test script:
---------------
EXAMPLE CODE:
$zerodate="0000-00-00 00:00:00";
$convertdate=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime(0000-00-00 00:00:00));
echo("ORIG: ".$zerodate." | CONVERTED: ".$convertdate.");
RESULT:
ORIG: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | CONVERTED: -0001-11-30 00:00:00
On MY WINDOWS BOX:
ORIG: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | CONVERTED: 1970-01-01 10:00:00
