It should output: test 2 However it returns an error similar to the following: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: registration::formatdate() in /home/gaza/public_html/fp_php/support/table.php on line 396 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22866&edit=1
