date: maximum number of years into the future

[jeff5656]

I want to set a never expire date, so I figured I would set the date 99 years into the future.  No dice.  After trial and error, it appears you can only make it 25 years into future:

 

date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+25 years"));

 

I wonder if it is the absolute date, or the number 25.  If it is the maximum date (i.e. nothing after 2035) then I will have a problem with this code next year!

strtotime() returns a unix timestamp, which is no good past 2038. Why not set a 'never expire' to a value of 0? Then you only have to check if something is expired if the value is greater than 0.
