Req #66157 [Com]: Reduce number of date formats from 9 to 1

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66157&edit=1 ID: 66157 Comment by: levim@php.net Reported by: t at tcx dot de Summary: Reduce number of date formats from 9 to 1 Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: levim Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Human readable dates will be displayed as 'd M Y'. Datetimes intended for tools will use RFC 3339 (W3C is the same thing). Dates intended for tools (no timestamp information) will use 'Y-m-d'. I have committed some changes already and plan to work on this today during stretches where my code is compiling. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-03-04 09:44:21] t at tcx dot de http://www.python.org/ now uses Y-m-d. In Gmail web interface I also see that more of my reply emails write something like: "2014-03-04 2:58 GMT+01:00 Name <name@example.org>:" (Note, they miss the leading 0 for one digit hours and use GMT which is wrong, correct is UTC). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-03-04 04:27:22] levim@php.net This many date formats in use bothers me as well. I'll look into pruning them a bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-23 18:10:16] bjori@php.net (It thinks it is spam becomes there are so many links :)) Thanks for the report, you raise an excellent point! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-23 06:34:49] t at tcx dot de http://pecl.php.net/ "Y-m-d" (fine) http://pecl.php.net/news/ "Y-m-d" (fine) http://pecl.php.net/package/stats "Y-m-d" (fine) http://marc.info/?l=pecl-dev "Y-m-d" (fine) http://snaps.php.net/ "M j, Y H:i" or "M d, Y H:i" only two digit example found, so format not clear.
