This is on PHP version 5.0.5 (apache2handler) & MySQL: 5.0.20-nt The recent changes RSS feed is terminated prematurely with the following PHP warnings: RSS feed Warning: gmmktime() [function.gmmktime]: Windows does not support negative values for this function in C:\Fat32\wwwroot\mediawiki-1.6.3\includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 1255 Warning: gmdate() [function.gmdate]: Windows does not support dates prior to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 in C:\Fat32\wwwroot\mediawiki-1.6.3\includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 1286 I have traced this to line 410 of BagOStuff.php, which needs to be changed from: return $dbw->timestamp('9999-12-31 12:59:59'); to: return $dbw->timestamp('2037-12-31 12:59:59'); I think this is the fault of PHP rather than Windows, but I just thought it might be helpful to others to have it fixed. Hope this is OK. (My first bugfix!)

Upgrade to PHP 5.1.0: Quoting: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Before PHP 5.1.0, negative timestamps were not supported under any known version of Windows and some other systems as well. Therefore the range of valid years was limited to 1970 through 2038.
Yes, I'm well aware that it works on that version, but why resist the fix for an older version, particularly after I have already taken the trouble to do it, so nobody else has to.
