Description:
------------
Hi.

I was looking at the bug http://bugs.php.net/?id=49481 and saw 
Derick's example at the bottom.

Tried running in and got some errors.

Retrieved latest Win32 VC9 x86 nts snapshot (PHP 5.3.2-dev (cli) 
(built: Sep  7 2009 07:57:33))

Using %P causes the problem below. %p outputs AM (or PM if it is PM) 
as expected.



Previous reports of this error (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48652) 
says "Error in a dependency".

Not sure when this issue arose.



Reproduce code:
---------------
php -n -d date.timezone="Europe/London" -r "echo strftime('%P');"

Expected result:
----------------
am

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in Command line code on line 1

Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in Command line code on line 1

Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in Command line code on line 1

Warning: Invalid CRT parameters detected in Command line code on line 1

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

Windows doesn\'t support all modifiers, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1(VS.71).aspx for the supported ones (and that link is in the manual at http://uk3.php.net/strftime .

Doh.

Seems that even the most recent MSDN docs 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1(VS.100).aspx and 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(VS.100).aspx) is out 
of date.

No mention of %p, yet it works.

Thanks Derick. Next time I'll RTFM!

Link is wrong. PHP uses VC++ not VC.NET. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49498

%p is correctly documented for the VC++ runtime reference.
