date.php failed to open stream

Hello,

I guess your issue is about date php function, I had similar issues with it calling custom date() format. Because it’s mainly built for western characters.

Can you check file calling date, or date.php is in utf-8 mode please?

Order of date might also be the issue, as php date() use a very strict format, so please make sure you complied to it on php.net.

Also, date in general can’t be use like that to output html – most times you need to make your own php function to preprocess and output the result.

Have a nice day,

A sample I made, for example, I used date() to compare dates in my template:

$expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date);
        $today_date = date("d-m-Y");
        $today_date2 = strtotime($today_date);
        if( $today_date2 > $expiration_date )
        {
        $expired = "yes";
        } else {
        $expired = "no";
        }

I looked into wp-settings.php, it is in utf-8 mode.

and there is no custom date() format, i think. All I have changed from default installation of wordpress is timezone, and i have tried reverting it back too.

Thanks,

In what context do you use date please? What do you want to display in your page or post? Like you see above, I had to use strtotime, to use date() later for comparison, or a simple echo or print.

I don’t know any place that date() is used.
The only date I see in the website is in the post date.
