Bug description: Problem with VT_DATE
Description:
------------
Problem when retrieving a VT_DATE in a COM object if the date is < to
01/01/1970
the code works fine with with any date > 01/01/1970
the problem is VT_Date can start at 01/01/1901 and $DOB->Value returns a
timestamp starting from 1970 instead of 1901. While it makes easy to
format the VT_Date with Date($format,$timestamp) it does not alow to
retrieve dates < 1970 from a COM:VT_Date variable
for VT_Date < 1970 (year) ,$DOB->Value return -1 ...
Reproduce code:
---------------
$query = new COM("DICOMobjects.DICOMQuery") ;
//settings to Query the Dicom Server"
$query->node="localhost";
$query->port="104";
$query->CallingAE="Client";
$query->CalledAE="Server";
$query->Name="*"; //tell the query to return any patient
$result = $query->DoQuery;//starts the query
$results = $query->Count;//number of items returned
for($i=1;$i<$results+1;$i++)
{
$Attrib=$answer->Attributes;
$DOB = $Attrib->ItemByIndex(4);//Date of birth of the patient
echo $DOB->value."<br>"; //is a VT_Date an returns a Timestamp
echo date("d/m/Y",$DOB->value)."<br>"; //formats the timestamp
}
Expected result:
----------------
the returned timestamp should not be -1 for dates < 1970
that makes the date unaccessible , and even for dates>1970 the timestamp
should be given from 1901 and not 1970 like it is now
Actual result:
--------------
A timestamp starting from 1901 and not 1970.
Please help me :p
