strtotime and dates long long ago ...

[ruud habets]

while making an encyclopdie on my hometown (dutch,
http://www.kgv.nl/index.php?id=610) i am trying to use dates prior to
1970. birthdates in, let's say, 1615.

i'm getting errors while working with these dates, for example when i am
calculating which day of the week it is. the dates are stored in a
mysql database.

is there another way to convert stringtype dates to work with?

Re: strtotime and dates long long ago ...

To create a timestamp for dates from Dec/13/1901 to Jan/19/2038

For local time:
mktime(int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year [, int
is_dst])

For GMT time:
gmmktime(int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year [,
int is_dst])

there is a way to configure the range of valid dates but I've never done it
before. research deeper into those two functions and you'll find out

mktime returns a unix timestamp which is only good for dates between 1970
and 2038 on Windows and Linux.
