Description:
------------
In order to reproduce this bug, see the below source.

Using date and string to time ultimately causes the time to be reset for the year.  Seems like deviant behavior.




Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r 'for($x=0;$x<99;$x++){ $year=date("Y",strtotime("+$x years"));echo "$x $year\n"; } exit();'

Expected result:
----------------
{0...98}{today's year + {0...98} }

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

1 2007

This means you (i.e. the timestamp) have reached the limit of integer. It's known problem and all *nix systems will face it in 2038. Not PHP problem, though.

In that case, the PHP implimentation should not rely on a native function.

We don't rely on it for the date stuff, but PHP *itself* only handles normal signed integers. The following should work fine:

for ( $x = 0; $x < 99; $x++ )
{
    $year = date_format(date_create( "+$x years" ), "Y");
    echo "$x $year\n";
}
