note 53869 added to function.date

There are certain advantages and disadvantages of passing the "dirty job" of formatting datestamps and timestamps to the database server itself, let say mysql. Formatting date/timestamps in the PHP script itself gives you more control in manipulating date and time without requiring another connection to the database to format the date/timestamp for you. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53869 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53869&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53869&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53869&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53869&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53869&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53869&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
