Check date validity, while allowing different date formats

Hi,

When i strtotime the year 1959 and below, php returns a timestamp value that when echoed as date('Y'), returns 2012, instead of 1959.

How do i get the correct timestamp value of years 1959 and below?

Thanks,

My php=5.2, os-32bit

I think it's outputting the 2012 because strtotime() starts at 1970.

Hi,

Thanks for the link but that didn't help. I did a lot of google searches too, before posting here, so...


Thanks anyway :)
