Bug #41386 [Com]: Month order output wrong

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41386&edit=1 ID: 41386 Comment by: kai dot business at childheart dot info Reported by: andy at needcheats dot com Summary: Month order output wrong Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: WinXP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: They say that this isn't a bug, but it'd be far easier to code if the months started off normally. I have to code January as 2 just to make it line up correctly which is nonsense.
