 New Comment:

So, fix the parser.  Why would "July 17, 2004" pick up the year while
"17 July, 2004" doesn't?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to

THis is how the parser works, check with var_dump(date_parse("17 July,
2004"));
