Description:
------------
The page about strtotime function in manual mentioned that the date in two digital format 00-69 will in charge as 2000-2069, it seems that the function support the date in 2069 year, but in fact, the range of the function support is in charge of the hardware, in 32 bit system, it only support date from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 to 2038-01-19 03:14:07, because the range of int is -2147483648 to 2147483647, if you use the date later than 2038-01-19 03:14:07, it will always return flase.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---

---


Expected result:
----------------
Please add some comments about the range of the date support for the function. Some of the comments makes confused.
