In the event you are using a framework (such as Zend), place this at the top of your index.php parser.

Perfect.. parse done

Note though the formatting of the string is a little different to that of the PHP date class ones, here are the Zend ones:

<?php
/**
* Returns a string representation of the object
* Supported format tokens are:
* G - era, y - year, Y - ISO year, M - month, w - week of year, D - day of year, d - day of month
* E - day of week, e - number of weekday (1-7), h - hour 1-12, H - hour 0-23, m - minute, s - second
* A - milliseconds of day, z - timezone, Z - timezone offset, S - fractional second, a - period of day
*
* Additionally format tokens but non ISO conform are:
* SS - day suffix, eee - php number of weekday(0-6), ddd - number of days per month
* l - Leap year, B - swatch internet time, I - daylight saving time, X - timezone offset in seconds
* r - RFC2822 format, U - unix timestamp
*
* Not supported ISO tokens are
* u - extended year, Q - quarter, q - quarter, L - stand alone month, W - week of month
* F - day of week of month, g - modified julian, c - stand alone weekday, k - hour 0-11, K - hour 1-24
* v - wall zone
*
* @param string $format OPTIONAL Rule for formatting output. If null the default date format is used
* @param string $type OPTIONAL Type for the format string which overrides the standard setting
* @param string|Zend_Locale $locale OPTIONAL Locale for parsing input
* @return string
*/
?>

For instance to get:
Tue – 6 – 2010

the format string you will need is:
“EEE – M – YYYY”

Thats when I came accross tabifier!

This is a handy little web app that foramats your code automatically simply by inserting the text into the text area and submitting the form.

It caters for most server side languages (c based ) when you select that from the drop down however it also formats HTML & CSS.

Very Very useful if you have shabby looking code

4.5/5

tabifier

• FlowChart
• BMPN
• UML
• Entity-Relationship
• Network
• Venn
• User Interface
• Sitemap

You can save in your online profile, share with other users, or export the document in formats such as:

• visio
• jpg
• png
• gliffy XML.

Only criticisms is the lack of an auto save function, I moved a Firefox tab to a new window and on reload lost everything..so tip: until they put this in continually save!

Highly recommend this as a project planning tool and any software/web envelopment as it is accessible anywhere and extremely powerful for a web application.
