A note that might save some people some time: This note on this page about DateTime object not being available unless you have PHP 5.2.0 or greater ONLY applies to SOME of the functions listed in the function list section of this manual. The DateTime is a new OO-based approach to date manipulation, but the old methods such as strtotime() and date() have been there for ages and still get the job done. To new users a "This not available until 5.2.0" note on the "Installation" page for this section seems to imply that ALL the functionality of this section is not available until 5.2.0. Maybe we should put a note on each of the "new" functionality pages that says. "This is new as of 5.2.0, and effectively replaces X and Y legacy functions". Just a thought. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 76.8.192.78 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84606 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84606 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84606 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
