What potential issues can arise when trying to work with dates prior to January 1, 1970 in PHP on Windows platforms, and how can they be resolved?

When working with dates prior to January 1, 1970 in PHP on Windows platforms, a common issue is the limitation of the Unix timestamp range which starts from January 1, 1970. To resolve this issue, you can use the `DateTime` class in PHP which provides support for a wider range of dates. 

$date = new DateTime('1960-01-01');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
