Description:
------------
The u modifier is supposed to convert into microseconds... however, under Windows (5.2.3) and Linux (5.2.4), I'm always getting '000000'.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo date('u');
?>


Expected result:
----------------
6-digit number

Actual result:
--------------
000000

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

date() itself uses a integer based unix timestamp, which does not support fractions.

Reclassified as documentation problem.

Just out of interest... if the way date() works doesn't support milliseconds, why does 'u' exist in the first place?
 [2007-10-13 13:06 UTC] bjori@php.net 
This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
