Is there a specific reason why you can't upgrade PHP? I've just tested the code on PHP 5 here on Windows and it works fine.

If it's the easy PHP installation you're after, it's not all that hard to create your own set up routine for Apache and PHP.

Because it's a project that would have to be justified and explained and stuff - easier for them to say "I used this ready-made tool thing" or whatever (especially since the deadline is in about 36 hours time.) The software side of things doesn't have to work perfectly - since they can discuss anything that doesn't work in their writeup, so it's easier to just do that then worry too much about getting it working. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

I'm not sure they're nonplussed!

why not make your own timestamp?

like [year][month][day][hour][minute][second][millisecond?]

2007042600153500

for 12:15:35.00 AM on 26th April, 2007.

Granted, it would require twice the storage of a unix timestamp in an INT, but it's even more flexible.

i.e. it would work :).
