you can see a) that i'm running php 4.2.2 and b) that your script works as intended on my box

have you made sure of all the little simple things (e.g.: cleared your web browsers cach or your web proxies cache, etc?)

too lazy to tell you, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php :stickout

Yea, it look like the prob come from php itself or i dunno what..... I realy dont know where to search and what i can try to correct this ... :-(((

If your string contains a null (ASCII 0) character, ereg will not find any matches past it.

(Helpful?)

Dan

I use this little routine:
$stringArray = explode("-", $date);
$date2 = mktime(0,0,0,$stringArray[1],$stringArray[2],$stringArray[0]);
$zdate = date("d M Y", $date2);
Hopefully, that will work for you.


Lats...

i have revert back my phplib.so to 4.1.1 then its working fine .... May be a compilation prob in my 4.2.2 ?

Someone have 4.2.2 installed can you send your .configure string you have used
