Fedora 3
Apache 2
PHP 5.0

I have a client's website running on Linux at www.dsvr.co.uk, a well
respected hosting company, and PHP's mktime() as on many Linux versions
still can't handle dates prior to 1970. This is madness. Can anyone explain
why the problem with mktime()'s dependence on glibc STILL hasn't been
addressed as of PHP 5? I can't believe the PHP developers continute to keep
their head in the sand with regard to mktime() and it's problems dealing
with dates prior to 1970. It's no good blaming glibc. If glibc is
problematic dependence on it should have been dropped long ago. Perl's
Date::Calc doesn't suffer from these problems.
