The date() function formatting characters g and G don't work as documented.

This script:
  <? echo date("l, F jS h:i a"); ?>
generates this output:
  Sunday, May 30th 01:42 am

But this script:
  <? echo date("l, F jS g:i a"); ?>
generates this output:
  Sunday, May 30th g:42 am

Are you sure you're running 3.0.8 (double-check phpinfo())? Works
fine for me here. These formatting characters weren't supported
in earlier versions.
