Free Date and Time Function using PHP "date()" style formatting.

Dear Tim,

I was bored and tired of working, so I tried to compile your
function....it compiled with no errors.

Compiled size by itself is 3,341 bytes. Not that it means anything.

Thought you might want to know it compiled OK.

OK....play time over.....back to work.

Thank you,

Subject: [meu] Free Date and Time Function using PHP "date()" style
formatting.

Hi all!

The "Date and Time Function" request a week or so ago inspired me to update
my function that I supplied. I wanted to see how closely I could emulate the
date() function in PHP, and this is the result.

It's fully tested, 3.9x compliant (I don't own a compiler to test 4.x, but I
think it would compile?), and works perfectly on my machine.

Current format codes supported:

Format Description (Example)
DAY ================================================== =========
d Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros (01 - 31)
D A textual representation of a day, three letters (Sun - Sat)
j Day of the month without leading zeros (1 - 31)
l Lower-case 'L' - A full textual representation of the day of the week
(Sunday - Saturday)

MONTH ================================================== =======
F A full textual representation of a month (January - December)
m Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros (01 - 12)
M A short textual representation of a month, three letters (Jan - Dec)
n Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros (1 - 12)

YEAR ================================================== ========
Y A full numeric representation of a year (2000 or 2001)
y A two digit representation of a year (00 or 01)

TIME ================================================== ========
a Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem (am or pm)
A Uppercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem (AM or PM)
g 12-hour format of an hour without leading zeros (1 - 12)
h 12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros (01 - 12)
i Minutes with leading zeros (00 - 59)
s Seconds, with leading zeros (00 - 59)

Currently format codes are opposite of PHP - preceed all format codes with a
backslash and enter everything else as normal text

e.g. "/F /j, /Y, /g:/i /a" will outputs "March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm"

l.tz),2,'0')),'/s',padl(time_t_min(l.cut, l.tz),2,'0'))}">
<MvFUNCRETURN VALUE="{l.format}">
</MvFUNCTION>

It turned out to be only 106 bytes larger than my previous function, but the
level of customization I think greatly out-weighs that.

Also, I haven't timed this, so I don't know how it performs compared to the
old function. I'm sure it's a fraction slower though.

Finally, if the email servers eat it and destroy the code, you can download
it in .txt format here: <A HREF ="http://www.winterboard.com/date_function.txt">http://www.winterboard.com/date_function.txt</A>
