This is exactly what I was hoping I would find. Thank you so much. Where can I send money?

Just wanted to say: very cool. I’ve been looking for something like this in JavaScript, and the code-generation approach is very clever. FYI, I discovered this from its inclusion in the yui-ext library.

I was initially looking for a php solution that would accept a date in any format (since I don't know ahead of time what format it will be in) and return it in a standard format. Looking for that, I stumbled across this page.

Doing a little testing though, I was unable to get your solution to output anything for: "2006-10-11T08:00:52+01:00".

I tried Date.parseDate("2006-10-11T08:00:52+01:00", "Y-m-d\TH:i:sO"); but that didn't do the trick. I did however notice that in Date.Patterns there were these two listed:

    SortableDateTimePattern: "Y-m-d\\TH:i:s"
    UniversalSortableDateTimePattern: "Y-m-d H:i:sO"

but not

    "Y-m-d\TH:i:sO" or "Y-m-d\\TH:i:sO"

which seemed like what may be needed.

Hi Will, thanks for writing in. Please let me know how the /i works; that was what I would have tried too. Obviously I haven’t given this any attention for a while. There’s just too much else going on. I have no idea where that document.write came from. I don’t even use such things for debugging.

I really need to just spend an hour or two with this and make sure it’s up to speed…

Thanks for a great set of date extensions! The casing issue could also be done by adding /i to the regex string generated i think (will have to try that now…). Also, there is a document.write (presumably) debug statement in the getWeekOfYear function which needs removing.

Rich, I’ll try to make that change soon (think “soon in the grand scheme of things” :-). Thanks for the idea though! I did not think of that.
