Bug #40242 'D' Day of the week function not working properly
Submitted: 2007-01-25 23:02 UTC Modified: 2007-01-26 14:43 UTC

Description:
------------
According to the manual, when using date_format, %D should produce a 3 letter representation of the day of the week ('wed' for example).  But for me, it produces the day of the month with a suffix (23rd for example).

Also, %r should produce the rfc-822 date-time format ('Wed, 23 Jan 2007 12:00:00 EST' for example).  This isn't working for me either.  Instead it produces '12:00:00 PM'.

Am I missing something or is this not working right?





Reproduce code:
---------------
MY CODE ATTEMPTING TO USE %D:
SELECT news_title
, news_description
, news_id
, date_format(added, '%D, %d %M %Y %T') AS added
from news
ORDER BY added DESC
LIMIT 0,5

MY CODE ATTEMPTING TO USE %r:
SELECT news_title
, news_description
, news_id
, date_format(added, '%r') AS added
from news
ORDER BY added DESC
LIMIT 0,5



Expected result:
----------------
Wed



Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:00:00 EST

Actual result:
--------------
23rd

12:00:00 PM

You're looking into wrong manual.
You need a manual for your database, not PHP.
