So, from there I searched Google for "php changelog" and found the changelog for php v5. Then I searched that document for 'date_' and found that under the 5.1.0 they added the above function. How it is stated, it makes me think that PHP now requires you to call this function prior to any use of other date functions. I cannot find anything in the php manual confirming my last statement.
