I’ve got other things to think about today though. Anyone else?

I have a date in Atom format: 2007-07-18T19:32:00.001-07:00

And I want to convert it to: July 18th, 2007 7:32 PM

I tried looking it up online but nothing is helping very much. I want to do it using commands like date() and strftime() .. but it’s not working out for me.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m not sure if you can see my email or not, and I don’t want to post it, so if you can’t, please use this form: http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~jmaerten/contact.html

Thank you SOO Much for your help!

You have a very good point about getting both the useful constants and possibly the alternate date() syntax integrated into the official smarty plugin. Definitely worth sending them an email…

I’ve just been through the exact same process, however, I just modified the existing Smarty plugin so that I could just pass ‘rfc822′ as the ‘format’ parameter to get the correct format for my RSS feeds, although this isn’t ideal.

BTW, which version of PHP is this? Because in 5.2.1 at least, the DATE_RSS constant matches the DATE_RFC2822 constant, i.e. “D, d M y H:i:s O”, so I’d have thought this ‘should’ be correct.

Still, thank you for your summary of this issue. Maybe you get could the Smarty guys to use the constants in the same way as you have in the main date_format modifier as it seems to do just what is required, as having two date formatting plug-ins seems like overkill to me.
