#49756 [Opn->Csd]: date's documentation about 'u' implies it actually works

ID: 49756 User updated by: urkle at outoforder dot cc Reported By: urkle at outoforder dot cc -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: CentOS 5 PHP Version: 5.2.11 New Comment: web form created a duplicate Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-02 19:04:27] urkle at outoforder dot cc Description: ------------ The documentation currently states. u Microseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2) Example: 654321 which contradicts the result of bug #41806 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41806 which states that because date() only accepts an integer and uses time() which only returns an integer the 'u' formatting option will ONLY return 000000. This severely limits the usefulness of having that 'u' formatting option. Can the documentation either be updated to reflect that it will ONLY return '000000' OR can the date() be modified to use microtime() when possible and to accept a float so the 'u' format option can be useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49756&edit=1
