note 73469 added to function.date

This key to date formatting is more useful to actually construct (rather than decipher) a date string! It would be useful to actually have this in the docs. . DATE FORMATTING ============================================== DATE • d day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros; i.e. "01" to "31" • j day of the month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "31" • S English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters; i.e. "th", "nd" • t number of days in the given month; i.e. "28" to "31" DAY • D day of the week, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Fri" • l (lowercase 'L') day of the week, textual, long; i.e. "Friday" • w day of the week, numeric, i.e. "0" (Sunday) to "6" (Saturday) MONTH • F month, textual, long; i.e. "January" • m month; i.e. "01" to "12" • M month, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Jan" • n month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12" YEAR • Y year, 4 digits; i.e. "1999" • y year, 2 digits; i.e. "99" .

MISCELANEOUS ============================================== UNITS PASSED • U seconds since the epoch • z day of the year; i.e. "0" to "365" • W ISO-8601 week number of year, weeks starting on Monday (added in PHP 4.1.0) (Saturday) TIME ZONE • I (capital i) "1" if Daylight Savings Time, "0" otherwise. • O difference to Greenwich time in hours; i.e. "+0200" • T time zone setting of this machine; i.e. "MDT" • Z time zone offset in seconds (i.e. "-43200" to "43200"). The offset for time zones west of UTC is always negative, and for those east of UTC is always positive.
