Questions tagged [year2038]

The "Year 2038 problem", a.k.a. Unix Millennium Bug, affects systems that use a signed 32-bit integer for the number of seconds since the "unix epoch" or 00:00:00 January 1, 1970. For such systems, the maximum date they are capable of expressing is 03:14:07 January 19, 2038.

Many "unix-like" systems express the current system time as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970. For systems that use a signed 32-bit integer, which has a maximum possible value of 2,147,485,547, the maximum possible date is then 03:14:07 January 19, 2038, at which time adding one second will cause an integer overflow and result in a negative number, which will correspond to a time in the year 1901.

This Wikipedia article describes it in full.

Dijit/form/DateTextBox doesn't like year 2033 onwards

I'm trying to create a textbox that accepts mm/yy. For some reason this doesn't like dates beyond 2032. Can anyone tell me why not and what the solution is? Update: Problem appears to be strictly a 2 digit year issue.

How to display webpage's domain creation year in PHP

I'm trying to display the year a website's domain was created using PHP. Just the year of the webpage it's being displayed on, nothing else. So far I found this code by Greg Randall that is very close to what I'm looking for.

Facing the time bomb in computers?

It is about the representation of time by using an int to store the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. When will programs that use this representation face a time bomb? How should you proceed when that happens?

Why don't we use full 32 bits to store 136 years since the Epoch?

I've seen it many times, e.g. on UNIX, in MySQL timestamp etc.: the Epoch starts at 1970-1-1, but the maximum recordable year is 2038. Now let me count: 2^32/60/60/24/365+1970 2106 So if we used full 32 bits, we would naturally get to year 2106…
