kickassamd Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 What is going to happen once the date goes beyond January 1st 2037, PHPs time() function returns an int, and the max an int can hold is 2147483647. They have a planned fix for this? Or what is going to happen? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112829-php-time-limitation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 By 2037, no one will be using 32-bit computers anymore. Case closed. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112829-php-time-limitation/#findComment-579502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickassamd Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Too bad 64bit has been around for quite awhile already, and its just now being adopted into the PC world...

DarkWater Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 But the point is that is IS being adopted. And we'll be way passed 64-bit by 2037. Look how far we've come in the past 30 years.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Things like 30 year mortgage tables are already being affected by the 19 Jan 2038 limitation in the Unix TIMESTAMP (conceived by the same far thinking folks that brought us the Y2K problems.)

DarkWater Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Good point. Didn't really think of that. But it won't be an problem when that date comes. For now, it is though. =X Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/112829-php-time-limitation/#findComment-579527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
