#45483 [NEW]: Add an era designater to DateTime methods when formatting or parsing dates

From: tj at systisoft dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5.3CVS-2008-07-11 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add an era designater to DateTime methods when formatting or parsing dates Description: ------------ It is currently not possible to specify an era designator in a format when parsing or formatting dates with DateTime::createFromFormat or DateTime::format. An era designater would be BC or AD as in 1/1/0200 BC or 1/1/2004 AD. I don't know which format char would be good since 'G' which is used in some other format patterns as era designator seems to be already taken.
