Versatile/Robust Timestamp
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2010 12:38 pm
I have begun a project that will track events in history. These events may have happened yesterday, or back in the days of the dinosaurs. Obviously functions like strtotime() and date() aren't going to work across the board. I have thought about storing all dates within varchar fields and then writing some functions of my own to handle dates such as: 1/1/1901at 2:01pm to 4.5 billion years ago. I was wondering if anyone has already invented the wheel though. If not, I'd be happy to do so and post my work for everyone else. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to proceed with this, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks
Jason
