Hi all! Are there any information available about the specifics and progress of date_format_locale? Speaking as a non native English speaker this is a highly anticipated function. Three specific questions: 1. Is there an implementation in HEAD? 2. Is there any chance of a backport to PHP 5? 3. Will it accept formatting according to date() or strftime() syntax? Lars Gunther

date(), but with some additions of course. How, I still need to work out. regards, Derick

Is that set in stone? Most non-english application developers are probably more familiar with the strftime syntax, as we tend to use that function 90 % of the time. Personally I also find that syntax more appealing: echo date('\T\o\d\a\y \i\t \i\s l \a\n\d \t\h\e \c\l\o\c\k \i\s H:i'); echo strftime('Today it is %a and the clock is %H:%M'); Lars Gunther Who, btw, prefers date-syntax to not having this function at all...
