#49498 [NEW]: Wrong MSDN link for strftime()

From: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Operating system: Windows_NT PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Wrong MSDN link for strftime() Description: ------------ Hello, on the manual page for strftime() you can find a link to the MSDN for the formatting codes which are available on Windows. Of course this link is wrong, PHP is not a .NET application and it's not using e.g. the ToString methode from a .NET DateTime object. Thus standard DateTime format strings which are valid for .NET applications are not helpful for a PHP programmer. Instead PHP is using the C function strftime() from msvcrt. And a PHP programmer have to use a formating codes which are valid for this function.
