 Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 12:37 pm Post subject: date_format Bug? |
 |
|
I saved a date (Birthday) in mysql as date (format: 0000-00-00).
It works fine for my personal birthday so i didn't notice this bug untill now. For a small forum i want to return the birthay. But when ther year is bevor 1970 it turns the date to 1970. It means 1900-1969 will not transform properly. Maybe it's a bug cuz the timestamp was start in the early 70s.
Maybe i'm wrong ... so here is my output...
<input type="text" maxlength="4" name="bd_year" value="{$user_optional.useropt_birthday|date_format:'%Y'}"> |

A feature, not a bug 
From: http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.modifier.date.format.php
| Quote: | | Programmers note: date_format is essentially a wrapper to PHP's strftime() function. You may have more or less conversion specifiers available depending on your system's strftime() function where PHP was compiled. Check your system's manpage for a full list of valid specifiers. |
From: http://php.net/strftime
| Quote: | | Note: Not all conversion specifiers may be supported by your C library, in which case they will not be supported by PHP's strftime(). Additionally, not all platforms support negative timestamps, therefore your date range may be limited to no earlier than the Unix epoch. This means that e.g. %e, %T, %R and %D (there might be more) and dates prior to Jan 1, 1970 will not work on Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other operating systems. For Windows systems a complete overview of supported conversion specifiers can be found at this MSDN website. |
See Also: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
The notes of mktime have a link to the adodb datetime library which overcomes this limitation. Other libraries are also available. |
