Dates before 1900

    Good evening,

    We have a problem with the date field. When the visitors fill, for example 12/12/1880, it converts the date to 13/12/1901 or 1961.

    How could we have these dates correctly stored?

    Hi,

    Where did you get the date converted, your mysql data or machform entry page ?
    Since PHP have limitation on date function, with valid range is typically from 13 Dec 1901 GMT to 19 Jan 2038. There might be some glitch when see the date format under 1901.

    Anyway to fix the date in view entry, you need to edit "entry-functions.php" file. Go around line 351 and you will see this code :

    $date_value = date("m/d/Y",strtotime($date_value));

    try replace the code with this

    $temp_date = explode('-',$date_value);
    $date_value = $temp_date[1] .'/' . $temp_date[2] .'/' . $temp_date[0] ;

    then go to line 360, you will see this code

    $date_value = date("d/m/Y",strtotime($date_value));

    replace with this

    $temp_date = explode('-',$date_value);
    $date_value = $temp_date[2] .'/' . $temp_date[1] .'/' . $temp_date[0] ;

    Hi!

    I've been testing these modifications, but something weird happens. Some dates are received correct, but some others are still changed.
