#44286 [NEW]: date('u'): milli or microseconds?

From: carsten at bitbybit dot dk Operating system: any PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: date('u'): milli or microseconds? Description: ------------ According to current documentation, date('u') returns "Milliseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2) | Example: 54321". I suspect that what is meant is microseconds (10^-6 s), not milliseconds (10^-3 s). Otherwise, the example value doesn't make sense. Reproduce code: --------------- shell> php -r 'echo shell> date("u")."\n".date("u")."\n";' Expected result: ---------------- microseconds, not milliseconds Actual result: -------------- microseconds (apparently) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44286&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44286&r=mysqlcfg
