Reproducibility: Every Time
Summary: Function convertDate in class.datetime.inc.php does not work with the
d-M-Y format that can selected in Preferences
Original Submission: The function works like this, and returns the new
formatted date:
convertDate($date, $dateFormat, $newFormat)
The function does this by finding the seperator used to seperate month, day,
and year. Then builds an array of the month day values, and maps each value to
the d/m/y format of the date passed.
For Example: Array ( [d] => 26 [m] => 03 [Y] => 2005 )
Then it finds the seperator of the format that you want the date to output the
date to. Then builds an array of the month/day/year new format
And ultimately builds the new formmated date by starting from the order of the
desired format, and matching the first value key with the old formmated value
key.
An Example of what would make it not work:
convertDate('30-Mar-2004', 'd-M-Y', 'm-d-Y')
The passed date, turns into this:
For Example: Array ( [d] => 30 [M] => Mar [Y] => 2004 )
Notice how month is formmated as 'M' in the old format, and 'm' in the new
format. At the end of the function when its building the end array that puts
the old formmated date into the new formmated date, it looks for the 'm', but
it cant find it, and returns a blank.
So the outcome will be: /30/2004
d-M-Y is the only dateformat Preference that is different than the rest because
it has the 'M' instead of 'm'.
I am not sure what the best way to fix this is, but thought I would explain
what is happening.

The month name is not the issue, the code assembles the new date format by
using the key, not the value. What makes it break is if any of the keys do not
match the output keys. A developer using this function would need to know the
format coming in, to prepare a proper output format that will work correctly.
Since d-M-Y is the only dateformat preference that is unlike the others with
the naming of the keys, it makes it difficult to know in advance to look for a
d,m,Y combination, or a d,M,Y combination without editing the function itself
to handle either one.

Assuming that the month name is language dependend this is not trivial. Best
solution would be to parse the given date into a timestamp and then return the
new string by converting the timestamp (with strftime() for example).
The problem is still language depending parsing of the incoming string
(strtotime() will NOT work here because it can not handle other
formats/lnguages).

This might be something for Powerstat to fix ...
