From: Xuefer@21cn.com Operating system: PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: suggestion to Document about time() and other "Date and Time functions" why isn't there any suggestion/guide to the web-developers that we should use unix timestamp for internal processing and allowing convert in input/output almost every c/c++ programmer would think, it's fooly yet funny to operate TIME using STRING format also in low speed i've read so many codes when they calc the time_diff mktime(..substr($time, 0, 4) - substr(..)..... blah... blah); i'm using unix timestamp in my hold website, and output in certain format as I like. it's simple yet enough! i'm afraid it's only needed by mysql to store string-format timestamp(mysql timestamp) that we can search by month or year and others -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15707&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15707&r=submittedtwice
