Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

This is the revised reproducecode.jpg. I do with jpg file because maybe this forum does not support chinese character to display.

I'm sorry for correction (must be all capital JPG). This is the link. Thanks.

Could you send it to me directly (in a zip/targz file)? I can't test it as I can't write Chinese myself :) (address is derick (@) php . net)

I sent you the php file contaning the actual reproduce code for your reference via email. Please acknowledge it if you received or not.

Yes, I got it - and this is not a bug in PHP. The first japanese character (for year) in its Shift-Jis encoding (that's the encoding you were using in the script that you sent me) includes as second byte the "n" character. The "n" character is also a modifier letter for the date() function call. As PHP 4 and PHP 5 do not support Unicode here this does not work. There are two solutions:
1. Encode your scripts in UTF-8
2. break up the date call like:
   echo date("Y", $ts) . "YEARCHAR" . date("m", $ts) . "MONTHCHAR"....
