It might be confusing that PEAR::Date uses ISO 8601 as "native" format, but the formatting options of Date::format() don't correspond to the lexical formats of ISO 8601, e.g. ISO 8601: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD Date::format(): %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%O Confusion might cause that ISO tags a month with a capital 'M' while Date::format() uses lowercase 'm' - and the other way round concerning minutes.
