Doc #69789 [NEW]: date() documentation regarding microseconds in misleading

From: patrick dot schwisow at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:date() documentation regarding microseconds in misleading Description: ------------ On http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php, 'u' is defined as: "Microseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2). Note that date() will always generate 000000 since it takes an integer parameter, whereas DateTime::format() does support microseconds." While this is not incorrect, it would lead you to believe that most DateTime objects will return microseconds. However, https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49779 prevents this from working properly without a workaround. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69789&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69789&r=mysqlcfg
