Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.formats.time
---
Wrong documentation for displaying AM/PM. 

In Documentation:
"Description" : "meridian"
"Examples"    : "A.m, pM, am."

Expected Behavior when use in use in code:
"time is: 00:00 AM/PM"

Actual Behavior:
"time is: 00:00 00UTCMon, XX Nov XXXX 00:00:00 + 0000000..00pm11"

Fix:
Documentation should say "Description" : "A/a", not meridian, it does not do what it says it does.



Test script:
---------------
echo "time is: " . date("h:i meridian", time() );

//real code is echo "time is: " . date("h:i A", time() );

Expected result:
----------------
"time is: 00:00 AM/PM"

Actual result:
--------------
"time is: 00:00 00UTCMon, XX Nov XXXX 00:00:00 + 0000000..00pm11"

those page are for explaining what kind of time format did PHP understand. To use "date" function, please read http://php.net/date

It is resulting in this behaviour because you are passing a series of formatting codes to the date function in the form of "meridian".
