Hello,

On FreeBSD, I have a strange problem with date_format modifier ...

{"1975-09-29"|date_format:"%d-%m-%Y"} returns "29-09-1975"
while
{"1969-09-29"|date_format:"%d-%m-%Y"} returns nothing ...

I'm using the modifier on birthdates and all users older than 30 years old don't see their birthdate displayed.
Is it a "bug" or something more related to UNIX timestamps ?
Isn't possible to manipulate dates before the 70's ?

Thanks !

date_format uses strftime, so unix timestamp limitations apply. If you want to handle dates outside that rage, look up Date_Calc in the PEAR repository and make a smarty function that uses it.
