RTFM: http://www.php.net/strtotime "Additionally, not all platforms support negative timestamps, therefore your date range may be limited to no earlier than the Unix epoch. This means that e.g. dates prior to Jan 1, 1970 will not work on Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other operating systems." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-23 07:07:12] gregorylee at contractweb dot net Description: ------------ strtotime still fails (as of version 4.3.8) to appropriately parse dates prior to 1-1-1970 in Windows builds. Reproducable with dates in various formats: MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD. Validation/conversion of dates prior to 1970 are frequently needed for applications that accept user input for birthdates. Reproduce code: --------------- print strtotime('04/28/1964'); print strtotime('4/28/64'); print strtotime('1964-04-28'); print strtotime('28/4/1964'); Expected result: ---------------- expect timestamps with the appropriate value (instead of -1); Actual result: -------------- -1 -1 -1 -1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31661&edit=1
