The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec
1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are
the dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for
a 32-bit signed integer). However, before PHP 5.1.0 this range was limited
from 01-01-1970 to 19-01-2038 on some systems (e.g. Windows).
