ID: 9519 Updated by: mrobinso Reported By: djhouy@pmeconsulting.com Old-Status: Bogus Status: Open Bug Type: Date/time related Assigned To: Comments: Changing back to open. This is a valid bug report. The snippet provided outputs the following in php-4.0.4pl1 and php-4.0.4dev: Sunday, March 04, 2001 ^^^^ Sunday, March 3, 2001 ^^^ There can't be two Sundays in March, one on the 4th and the other the 3rd. Not in PHP anyway. Maybe ASP. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-04 18:34:16] lyric@php.net PHP is performing as documented. You want 'j' not 'n'. See the date manual page : d - day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros; i.e. "01" to "31" j - day of the month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "31" n - month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-02 11:16:50] cnewbill@php.net My bad disregard...month...oops. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-02 11:16:16] cnewbill@php.net Jani, I believe he is refering to the fact the dates are wrong numerically not typographically. I get this same result too on PHP 4.0.4pl1 and 4.0.5-dev. -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-02 09:28:58] sniper@php.net It's not wrong, it's exactly what it should be outputting. Please read the manual page for date: http://www.php.net/date where it says: n - month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12" --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-02 02:44:32] djhouy@pmeconsulting.com the n option for date gives wrong value date ("l, F d, Y") outputs Friday, March 02, 2001 date ("l, F n, Y") outputs Friday, March 3, 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
