PHP: date/time functions give wrong minutes
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2023 10:25 am
[PROBLEM]:
PHP functions seem to show the wrong number of minutes in a formatted timestamp:
Commandline shell "date" program says:
# PHP functions
[SOLUTION]
A common format placeholder mixup.

If you're using "M" or "m" for minutes, then you're actually displaying month of year. "i" is used for minutes.
