#50217 [NEW]: strftime: plattform specifics

From: none at here dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: strftime: plattform specifics Description: ------------ please add to the documentation for strftime(), that for unsupported conversion specifiers, the conversion might fail completely and return an empty string. on linux: echo "x" . strftime("%m %C") . "x"; > "xNovember 09x" on windows: echo "x" . strftime("%m %C") . "x"; > "xx" and NOT as expected "xNovember x" with just the second conversion missing. ideally, the conversion specifier list could list if it's available on a specific platform. for people porting code from win to linux, this is a cruicial issue... thanks & keep up the great work!
