[RESOLVED] Dates

[agmorgan]

I am trying to add a Date of Birth field into a page with the following script. However. If I put the date Jan 01 1970 then 1970 appears. If I use Jan 01 1960 (or anything beleow 1969) the year 1969 apears.

$today = time();
$f_today = date ("M-d-Y",$today);

$importantDate = strtotime("January 01 1960");
$startYr = date("Y", $importantDate); //get the year from $today
echo "<select name='dateYr'>\n";
for ($n=$startYr;$n<=$startYr+5;$n++)
{
echo " <option value=$n";
if ($startYr == $n )
{
echo " selected";
}
echo "> $n\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";

Am I being a major league novice?

Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are the dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for a 32-bit signed integer). On Windows this range is limited from 01-01-1970 to 19-01-2038.
