Note entirely sure what you mean... but you should look at strtotime() which can convert your date to a number of seconds beyond the Unix epoch, and then if you can add that to the number of seconds from 1900-01-01... you'd be all set.

Out of curiousity... why the number of days from 1900-01-01???

hi superwormy, thank u for help me

i have an hold database with field date_of_born with number of days from 1/1/1900, i think because unix start from 1/1/1970 and no good for save people date of born.

i need to convert in something like 02/02/1950 if i convert in second from unix+second from 1900, no work for date before 1/1/1970.
