#20478 [Opn->Bgs]: strftime problem with timestamp from 2000-01-01/02

ID: 20478 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: thomas.schuessler@michel-consulting.de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Use strftime('%Y', $timestamp) not strftime('%G', $timestamp). %G - The 4-digit year corresponding to the ISO week number (see %V). This has the same format and value as %Y, except that if the ISO week number belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead.
