Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

php -r \"echo date(\'r\', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 2004));\"

Okay, thanks for your time.

But I don't quite follow. i don't see anything in the manual that states your solution.

php -r "echo date('r', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 2004));"
seems to be a workaround.

the manual says "timestamp is optional", the 'r' format character claims an "RFC 822 formatted date", and nowhere in RFC 822 does it show that extra space.

The line php -r "echo date('r', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 2004));" just shows, that there is only one space between "," and "10", so the two spaces in case of a one-digit daynumber is just for format.

Btw. 822 was obsoleted by 2822, as you might've noticed, that 4-digit years are not allowed by 822.
