In Documentation: "Description" : "meridian" "Examples" : "A.m, pM, am." Expected Behavior when use in use in code: "time is: 00:00 AM/PM" Actual Behavior: "time is: 00:00 00UTCMon, XX Nov XXXX 00:00:00 + 0000000..00pm11" Fix: Documentation should say "Description" : "A/a", not meridian, it does not do what it says it does. Test script: --------------- echo "time is: " . date("h:i meridian", time() ); //real code is echo "time is: " . date("h:i A", time() ); Expected result: ---------------- "time is: 00:00 AM/PM" Actual result: -------------- "time is: 00:00 00UTCMon, XX Nov XXXX 00:00:00 + 0000000..00pm11" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66143&edit=1
