Hi,

I tried to use date for convert U (seconds passed from 1970.1.1 up to about 2030, but it returned some unsuitable result
check this sample: 

$U = 2191928815;
echo gmdate('Y.m.d H:i:s', $U); // 1903.05.12 06:38:39




Reproduce code:

Expected result:

Actual result:
--------------
non

Works fine on 64-bit Linux (Debian) for me.  I get:

2039.06.17 13:06:55

However, you are probably on a 32-bit platform in which case your timestamps are going to go negative at 2^32 which is 2147483648.  So, in your case your timestamp is actually the same as -2103038481 (-2^32 + (2191928815 - 2^32) which is exactly and correctly 1903.05.12 06:38:39

So, the short version is that if you want to play with Unix timestamps that represent times after Jan.19 2038 you are going to need to go 64-bit.

Actually, you can do this things on 32-bit as well, like:

$U = 2191928815;
$d = date_create( "@$U" );
echo date_format( $d, 'Y.m.d H:i:s' );
