It appears this is a known bug that is/will be fixed in PHP 5.1.3. The current date code for
DATE_W3C and DATE_ATOM (in 5.1.2) is "Y-m-d\TH:i:sO". According to
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php , the other option for the last character is "P"
which prints the difference from Greenwich mean time with a colon (as the examples for DATE_W3C and
DATE_ATOM suggest).
As a workaround, I've found that the string "c" produces the output I was expeciting to get from
DATE_W3C and DATE_ATOM.
This code:
$this->dateCreated = date( "c", ATOM, mktime( 0, 0, 0, 23, 2, 2006 ) );
Outputs this:
2006-02-23T00:00:00-08:00

I'm trying to create a date with the DATE_W3C or DATE_ATOM format (they
are the same format according to the examples), but the output of date
doesn't match the example in the documentation.
The http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php page says the formats
are as follows:
DATE_ATOM (string)
Atom (example: 2005-08-15T15:52:01+00:00)
DATE_W3C (string)
World Wide Web Consortium (example: 2005-08-15T15:52:01+00:00)
DATE_ISO8601 (string)
ISO-8601 (example: 2005-08-15T15:52:01+0000)
If I create a date with this code:
$this->dateCreated = date( DATE_ATOM, mktime( 0, 0, 0, 23, 2, 2006 ) );
echo $this->dateCreated;
I expect to see:
2006-02-23T00:00:00-08:00
The output I actually get is the ISO-8601 format:
2006-02-23T00:00:00-0800
The only difference is the colon in the GMT offset at the end.
Is the example output in the web page wrong? Or is this a bug in PHP?
Thanks,
Mark
