Summary: strftime() returns an empty string when using the %e
conversion specifier
Status: Assigned
Type: Bug
Package: Date/time related
Operating System: win32 only
PHP Version: 5.2.6
Assigned To: derick
New Comment:
strftime() is not portable, so for Win32 have a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28VS.71%29.aspx
You could not find %e but ...
there is the formater char "#" that can Remove leading zeros (if any).
Replace "%e" by "%#d", it's work !

%e is not supported on Windows. strftime PHP's implementation is not
portable. Assigned to the maintainer, if he likes to comment more or
make it portable.
See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak(VS.71).aspx
for the list of supported identifiers.

Description:
------------
When I use the strftime() function to format a date, it returns an empty
string when I use the %e conversion specifier in the formatting string.
I'm using the newest version of the WAMPSERVER package (with Apache
2.2.8).
I hope this helps you any further, do not hesitate to contact me if you
have further questions. Thanks!

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP
$time = mktime();
echo "This does not work: " . strftime("%e", $time);
echo ", while dis does work: " . strftime("%d", $time);
echo ". Adding parameters doesn't fix the problem: " . strftime("%A %e
%B %Y", $time);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
This does not work: 18, while dis does work: 18. Adding parameters
doesn't fix the problem: Monday 18 August 2008
Actual result:
--------------
This does not work: , while dis does work: 18. Adding parameters doesn't
fix the problem:
