Bug description: Getting unixtime since 12/31/1969 21:00:00
Description:
------------
I was testing unixtime from php and delphi and there is a difference from
one to another.
Php makes unixtime from 12/31/1969 21:00:00. Isn't it a bug? Unixtime
isn't from 01/01/1970 00:00:00 as you say in manual from function
strtotime:
'...This means that e.g. dates prior to Jan 1, 1970 will not work on
Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other operating systems....'
If it's because the time, isn't it needed another argument to define it?
For example:
If i make a script using unixtime using -0300 timezone and, for some
reason, i move it to another system that uses timezone as GMT, some
results will be different.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$unixtime = 0;
echo date("d/m/Y H:i:s", $unixtime) . "\r\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
01/01/1970 00:00:00
Actual result:
--------------
31/12/1969 21:00:00
