[quote author=Caesar link=topic=123564.msg511002#msg511002 date=1169511562] What format are the dates being stored as? [/quote] Hello, Of the available options, I'm using 'date', the others being 'datetime', 'timestamp', 'time' and 'year'.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I read about that 1970 thing, but is there a way around it?

Hello everyone, I have a date-related enquiry. I had previously been using the following code to display dates from a table in a normal format: (<?php     $date = strtotime($row->date);     echo $date = date('j F Y', $date); ?>) However, this new table I'm working on is full of dates that stretch back to the late nineteenth century, and with the above code, these all get displayed as 1st January 1970. I am using the 'date' option in Mysql, and from internet searches I understand that this should have a big enough range, so I presume it's clashing with the above code somehow. At the moment I'm just using <? echo $row->date; ?>, which brings them up fine, but in the not-too-userfriendly mysql format. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, Just tried installing this. The server path I\'m using is correct - I checked with my host - and I\'m setting up the folders and permissions exactly as it says in the instructions. Result = zero. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? And can anyone suggest an alternative program for backing up databases without having to worry about the server timing out? Thanks.
