Description

The current date/datetime fields of TYPO3 core can only handle UNIX timestamps. For applications like storing a birthdate, it is necessary to be able to handle dates outside the regular UNIX timestamps.

This issue was already discussed on the mailing list and on the wiki (http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/User_talk:Dbruehlmeier ). Despite the version currently on the wiki, the ISO-representation might not the best way to go (please refer to the discussion on the mailing list). Perhaps it might also be a possibility go aim for something like http://pear.php.net/package/Date/

I think it might be quite an overhead to change all date fields to this format, as for normal operation (start-stopdates, ...) the current unix timestamp is more than enough. For other more rare circumstances where such dates are needed, individual solutions have to be found. Maybe - if somebody is interested - he can create a patch for TYPO3 implementing a new date field which is able to store different dates as well.
