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

THis is how the parser works, check with var_dump(date_parse("17 July, 2004"));

So, fix the parser.  Why would "July 17, 2004" pick up the year while "17 July, 2004" doesn't?
