ID: 55743 Updated by: sala...@php.net Reported by: bugzilla33 at gmail dot com Summary: date u - Microseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2) Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: All PHP Version: 5.4.0beta1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The "u" format character does work for date(), it always gives the correct answer of "000000" for this function. As explained here and on the date() page, date() itself works with whole seconds for the timestamp. If fractions of seconds are needed, use the DateTime class. Again, the document is correct since the "u" format character exists and does output the number of milliseconds for a given timestamp. However, that number will always be none since date() works with integers, i.e. whole seconds, only.

However, what is the reason for the documentation on this page still being incorrect? http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php It has been almost a year, and the page still suggests that the "u" formatter will work with date(). Thank you, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-23 13:29:55] bj...@php.net "Note: Since this function only accepts integer timestamps the u format character is only useful when using the date_format() function with user based timestamps created with date_create()."
