Quoting "Jon L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Another possibility... Port the Date object implementation from ECMA/Javascript. It has a range of +/-8.64e15, or Tue, 20 Apr -271821 00:00:00 GMT to Sat, 13 Sep 275760 00:00:00 GMT. You know...just to have a little extra time to find something else. ;) - Jon L.
That would be a quite interesting move, try propose it to Derick ;)

For 32bit users, making it unsigned is the best option for now, and I suppose that by 2038 there will be another option. As far as I am concerned, this discussion is a discussion for the sake of discussion. If I am still using the same apps that I use today in 2038, I will officially rethink my usefulness as a human being :) --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
