I have this code:

$date_parsed = strtotime($answer['answer']);
$required_date_parsed = strtotime('-16 years');

if ($date_parsed > $required_date_parsed) {
    $row = null;
    break 1;
}

And for some reason 2041-11-30 does not go into the if statement while it is obviously bigger than 16 years ago. Dates like 1980-04-18 do go into the if block as they should. Why is this happening?

32-bit signed integer limits for timestamps.... [Year 2038 Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem).... consider using DateTime objects instead, as they are 64-bit internally – Mark Baker Aug 04 '16 at 10:00
Ah, how can I turn it into 64 bit? – JordyvD Aug 04 '16 at 10:01

Install a 64-bit version of PHP, or use DateTime objects instead – Mark Baker Aug 04 '16 at 10:02
