note 95655 added to function.mktime

Oh what grief I can forsee with this wretched perverse middle-endian date format. It appears that all the simple PHP date-parsing functions expect the date arguments to be supplied in perverse middle-endian order (mm-dd-yyyy), for obvious historical reasons of cultural hegemony. Can we not have a sane date parser that works with the logical ISO 8601 format? This (yyyy-mm-dd) is also the norm for date representations in the most populous nation on earth, so it ought to be the way forward. ---- Server IP: 87.124.86.47 Probable Submitter: 82.152.119.165 (proxied: 82.152.119.165) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95655 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95655 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95655 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
