(1) Does PHP provide any way to handle dates prior to 1980?

I know there's problems with Microsoft Windows NT and all Windows
NT operating systems will allow a date prior to 1980 to be placed upon
a file, but it ends up not being able to display the date (probably an
Windows Explorer specific issue).

(2) I'm looking for for ways to store dates and process dates (dates only).
This probably ends up as a database specific issue, so I'm wondering
about handling dates (YYYY.MM.DD format) with databases. I don't
have any experience involving this, and the database I'm playing with
currently offers no date support at all (SQLite)... and from what I've
played with in the past, Windows tends to convert dates back and forth
between text and a number (causing a problem with dates prior to 1980
specifically with Windows Explorer).

Anyways, this is a pretty good topic I think. And I'd appreciate any
help or suggestions or comments about this topic.

Thanks.
