Problems handling really old dates in PHP

Recommended Posts

As far as I know, the mktime() function gives you seconds from the epoch, which on your system is 01/01/1970 so it won't go any earlier than this without some calculation somewhere.

Have you done a search on these forums?  I just did a few searches and came up with a few really useful results... [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,89933.0.html]Here's one[/url] for a start

OK here is the file. I hope I can do this whithout getting in trouble if Iam not suppose to I am sorry and you may just delete this.

Use it like so

[code]<?php
require('includes/adodb-time.inc.php');

$startdate = adodb_date("d-M-Y", adodb_mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1869));
?>[/code]
