genericnumber1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 1/1970 corresponds to 0 seconds unix time. It's likely that strtotime() is failing and returning false. PHP is then casting the false to an int to make 0. The manual lists "Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC" are the valid time ranges, so your method will not work for dates as early as 1/3/1900. The reasons for this limitation are fairly technical and not really super important to understand unless you're curious, just know that you should use another method if you want to do dates very far in the future or past.

robert_gsfame Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Dont really have an idea on this <?php $gettime='1900/5/1'; $change=date("d/m/Y",strtotime($gettime)); echo $change; ?> will return 01/01/1970 if i change $gettime with 1901/5/1 then it will also return 01/01/1970 but if i change to 1903/5/1 then it will return the correct result 01/05/1903 Can you help me??

robert_gsfame Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 do you mean that the range for time only from 1902 - 2038 before 1902 and after 2038 is invalid time is that what you mean??

Yes, using unix time functions such as date(), strtotime(), etc are limited to those date ranges in my post.
