Zero not needed

[Dexie]

Hi, this code:

<?php
echo date("l, \\t\he dS of F, Y,");
?>

ends up like this:

Monday, the 01st of August, 2005

Any ideas how to exclude the zero at all please?

Any help appreciated.

I think you just need to use "j" instead of "d" for the day of the month.

Check which flags to use: [php.net...]

Many thanks for that friend - much appreciated.

I assume there won't be any other probs later in the month - with nds, rds or ths?

Many thanks Chris, that page is going to be very useful - much appreciated.

In case you didn't know - a very good feature with www.php.net is that you can always append /function_name to the url and it will redirect you to the documentation. The documentation, and it's comments are often all you need to get startet. I use it all the time.

Sorry Chris, that just went flying straight over my head ;-) How do you mean?

Well, if you have a question related to a php function you may very easily find the answer in the documentation or the user contributed comments to it. The documentation is found at [php.net...]

For instance, your first post was related to the date() function. As I already told you, the answer is found at [php.net...]

Let us say that you're reading a file, and have some questions about the php function file_get_contents() - you will most likely find the answer at [php.net...]

See? Very handy feature ;)

Got it, many thanks for your help.
