// why is this returning 1969-12-31 ???

$day = 13;
$month = 10;
$year = 2002;
echo date("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year)); 

And MySQL also does the same when I insert '2002-10-13' in a date field!!!

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

we really need a quickfix entry for this ... :(

due to daylight saving time there is no
such date as 2002-10-13 00:00:00 in brazil

the second following 2002-10-12 23:59:59
is 2002-10-13 01:00:00

so you requested the timestamp for an invalid
date, which is -1

and then you passed that on without checking 
to the date function, which took it as 
"the second before the unix epoch", being
1969-12-31 23:59:59
