Date Formatting...Not Intuitive...

Post by papaurn »

Hi
Does anyone else find date formatting in PHP to be inordinately difficult and non-intuitive?
I spend so much time figuring out how to format dates in php code...
Thought I would whine...

It only gets difficult when you discover that date() and strftime() dont use the same codes and have to re-learn how to print dates.

I personally do not stuggle either. I find the concepts fairly straightfoward.
