Define the input format if you are not using the standard locale format as
inputstring.
$zd = new Zend_Date($message->date, Zend_Date::RFC_822);

Subject: [fw-general] Problems with Zend_Date creating Date objects from
Zend_Mail IMAP messages
Hi,
I'm trying to parse dates from a Zend_Mail IMAP message. This code seems
to be the most succinct example:
$zd = new Zend_Date($message->date);
echo $message->date.' = '.$zd->toString('YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss').'<br />';
This simple example outputs the below based on 4 email messages:
4 Nov 2005 11:05:21 -0000 = 2005-04-11 11:05:21
7 Nov 2005 09:41:49 -0000 = 2005-11-07 09:41:49
4 Nov 2005 11:41:56 -0000 = 2005-04-11 11:41:56
7 Nov 2005 09:41:28 -0000 = 2005-11-07 09:41:28
As you can see, to the naked eye it always parses the time element
correctly, the year is also correct, however, on the messages from the
4th of November, it's transposed the month and date elements. This
doesn't occur on the 7th of November. This is a subset of a larger group
of messages, at a quick guess 95% of overall messages are correct. I
could understand it if the initial strings were different (as they can
be with some messages), but, as you can see from the echo of
$message->date in the above examples the formats are matched. Surely
these should all match, or all fail.
Any suggestions as to what's going wrong?
Thanks
Andrew
