Dates past 1970

1960....wha?

[gettopreacherman]

Aight, so i have a gmmketime() for a date and parse

04011980 into April 1, 1980...works great, I so happy...now as well all know, the next level of insanity ensues...what about dates older than Jan 1, 1970?

04011954 shows as December 31, 1969...AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG....anyone know a way around this?

Go here;
[au.php.net...]

Do a search for MakeTime()

Alternatively, look at adodb time library.

I have looked at this site many times...it all links back to the fact that the mktime() and gmmktime() are all based on the date of Jan 1, 1970. Anything older isn't recognized, as that is the Unix start time thingy mabopper...I am sure there is a way around this with inventive manipulation, but I haven't found one yet.

So is gmmketime() your own function or a typo?

I'm thinking the first user contributed note under strtotime() [php.net] might be what you're after all though it doesn't work with the way your date is formatted in the first place.

If you go to the php manual that badone suggested, and look look at the coments, it shows some working work arounds.
