masem didn't actually mean a rollover - I think he was just using it as an analogy He meant "we're coming up to a point where all the nines go to zeros and we put a one in front".
I'm not quite sure what he means by check your string comparisons, because I can't see a way that it could change the outcome of a string comparison unless you were doing something terribly foolish like
if (substr($this_dat,0,4) eq substr($that_date,0,4) {
In which case it would come up false when you clearly would have wanted it to be true.
It was an interesting snippet anyway, just like yakko's below. ____________________
