There's a bug report that exactly describes your problem :)

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51950

Since 2016-08-07, the bug report has been marked as "not a bug". You need to use strtotime or new DateTime instead.

The constants that have been defined apply to both formatting and parsing in the same way, which forces your ways.

Glad you like it. We have been using this for several weeks now and it seems to be going nicely. (https://www.pfmlogin.net/)github.com

I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm not a good judge concerning readability.

In case you prefer keeping the "with or without" and switching the examples around, then, for consistency the "g and h" and "G and H" should by switched as well (to "h and g" and "H and G" to be precise).

Let me know your thoughts. I'd be happy to supply a new patch.

This makes it read really weirdly, so I would say "Won't Fix" - if at all, change the examples around.
