Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65594&edit=1 ID: 65594 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: eric dot delcamp at gmail dot com Summary: date format missing -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: aharvey Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I think there's confusion about what these pages actually document: these are the date formats that PHP's date parser accepts, rather than formatting codes for things like date(). I've added a paragraph to each page briefly explaining what it is.

Fixes doc bug #65594 (date format missing). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-30 20:00:18] gabri dot ns at gmail dot com IMO, thus page are for describing format that are understood by PHP's date parser, like strtotime(). for formatting date, you should consult to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-30 14:04:51] eric dot delcamp at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.formats.date --- it's very hard to understand how these formats are used. i'm PHP users since 10+ years but i spent one hour cruising the site (and finally had to google it) to find information located on the following page : http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php (D or d for instance are missing on http://www.php.net/datetime.formats.date) it's highly misleading IMHO ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65594&edit=1
