Especially since this has been open since 2008? By the way, this is still an issue on PHP 5.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-16 17:46:10] matt at ssradio dot com You could perhaps use the following test to avoid running into this problem: if (stristr(php_uname('s'), 'WIN')) { // Are we running under Windows? // %e conversion specifier not supported, use %#d instead } else { // OK to use %e } Hope that helps! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-31 07:12:10] contact dot php at juliencrouzet dot fr Wouldn't it be nice to replace "%e" by "%#d" php_strftime ?
