I would like to note that I am aware of that 32 bit systems will not
work after 2038. But does that mean that they can not do simple date
conversion?
Not if that "simple" date conversion uses the system time_t functions
(which most of the common functions do). If you need to handle dates
outside the range of 1970-2038, you'll need to use alternate functions
that can handle the expected date range (and I don't know if such exist
in PHP; you may have to code them yourself).
Portable code should not assume system date routines can handle dates
outside 1970-2038; you shouldn't depend on 64 bit systems having larger
time_t (I don't think they all do).
