Hi there,
after having read the Announcement in the Bugs-Forum, I decided to post this "pitfall" here

I wrote a little CMS using the function.html_select_date.php AND function.html_select_time.php in order to be able to write news which are only displayed within a certain date- and timerange, so that I can write a bunch of articles which will appear on the date and time stored in my database.

So today I wrote an article and wanted to have it online at 07:10 a.m.

In my CMS I selected
2003 09 01 07 10 00
with the help of the select dropdown boxes.

I saved it, but the article didn't appear.
Instead the html_select_date displayed something like
2003 09 17 10 00 00

After some checking I found out that - for whatever reason - the default value for the variable "day_value_format" in the function.html_select_date.php reads

[Enquest]

I don't understand it.

I want in the day value box the following "mon 14"
This aint happening with $day_value_format="%a"

Further more I'm wondering what day_extra does. It doesn't seem to do much.

Thanxs for the any help...

Enquest: the day_format and day_value_format are format-strings for sprintf, not for strftime. you can just format the numbers from 1 to 31, but they don't know their month, year or day-of-week.

day_extra is appended to the select-tag for the day. like
{html_select_date day_extra='class="foo"'}
to obtain sth. like <select name="Date_Day" class="foo">
