Description:

Hi,
I am making a counting system, which will told visitor to a days difference within selected date range.

If user enter date till 2038 it works fine..and user enter beyond then this, then it start giving error (negative values)

I read that due to PHP version problem it did, but we have "PHP Version 5.2.5" installed on the server.

Can you please suggest about this error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
For your reference, i am using following code:

$dateDiff = mktime( $from['hour']  , $from['minutes'] , $from['seconds'] , 
                        $from['month'] , $from['day']     , $from['year'] ) -
                mktime( $to['hour']    , $to['minutes']   , $to['seconds'] ,
                        $to['month']   , $to['day']       , $to['year'] );

	$intDays    = floor(  $dateDiff / (60*60*24) );

    $intHours   = floor( ($dateDiff - ($intDays*60*60*24) ) / (60*60) );

    $intMinutes = floor( ($dateDiff - ($intDays*60*60*24) - ($intHours*60*60) ) /60 );

Sorry, but 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 as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
