Not sure if this is what you are after...
Only got OSX 10.7.5 with me at the moment, this uses BSD date command. My Linux machine is at work so the date format will probably be different...
You could try and create a negative epoch, (using BSD date in this example), something like:-
Code:

AMIGA:barrywalker~> date -j -f "%d-%m-%Y" 19-02-1956 +%s
-437532136
AMIGA:barrywalker~> date -j -f "%d-%m-%Y" 19-02-1965 +%s
-153448929
AMIGA:barrywalker~> date -j -f "%d-%m-%Y" 19-12-1969 +%s
-1042918
AMIGA:barrywalker~> date -j -f "%d-%m-%Y" 31-12-1969 +%s
-6109

And if the result IS negative then set as you require...

easter_date - Get Unix timestamp for midnight on Easter of a given year

SYNOPSIS
int easter_date ([int $year = date("Y")]) DESCRIPTION
Returns the Unix timestamp corresponding to midnight on Easter of the given year. Warning This function will generate a warning if the year is outside of the range for Unix timestamps (i.e. before 1970 or after 2037). The date of Easter Day was defined by the Council of Nicaea in AD325 as the Sunday after the first full moon which falls on or after the Spring Equinox. The Equinox is assumed to always fall on 21st March, so the calculation reduces to determining the date of the full moon and the date of the following Sunday. The algorithm used here was introduced around the year 532 by Dionysius Exiguus. Under the Julian Calendar (for years before 1753) a simple 19-year cycle is used to track the phases of the Moon. Under the Gregorian Calendar (for years after 1753 - devised by Clavius and Lilius, and introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582, and into Britain and its then colonies in September 1752) two correction factors are added to make the cycle more accurate. PARAMETERS
o $year - The year as a number between 1970 an 2037. If omitted, defaults to the current year according to the local time. RETURN VALUES
The easter date as a unix timestamp. EXAMPLES
Example #1 easter_date(3) example <?php echo date("M-d-Y", easter_date(1999)); // Apr-04-1999 echo date("M-d-Y", easter_date(2000)); // Apr-23-2000 echo date("M-d-Y", easter_date(2001)); // Apr-15-2001 ?> NOTES
Note easter_date(3) relies on your system's C library time functions, rather than using PHP's internal date and time functions. As a con- sequence, easter_date(3) uses the TZ environment variable to determine the time zone it should operate in, rather than using PHP's default time zone, which may result in unexpected behaviour when using this function in conjunction with other date functions in PHP. As a workaround, you can use the easter_days(3) with DateTime and DateInterval to calculate the start of Easter in your PHP time zone as follows: <?php function get_easter_datetime($year) { $base = new DateTime("$year-03-21"); $days = easter_days($year); return $base->add(new DateInterval("P{$days}D")); } foreach (range(2012, 2015) as $year) { printf("Easter in %d is on %s ", $year, get_easter_datetime($year)->format('F j')); } ?> The above example will output: Easter in 2012 is on April 8 Easter in 2013 is on March 31 Easter in 2014 is on April 20 Easter in 2015 is on April 5 SEE ALSO
