It’s a Symfony thing in sfDateFormat::getPattern().

You can use this helper like this following example:

<?php echo format_date($blog_post->getCreatedAt(), "D“) ?>

The D is a pre-formatting from symfony, above a list about others pre formats options.

switch ($pattern)
    {
      case 'd':
        return $this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'D':
        return $this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'p':
        return $this->formatInfo->MediumDatePattern;
        break;
      case 'P':
        return $this->formatInfo->FullDatePattern;
        break;
      case 't':
        return $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'T':
        return $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'q':
        return $this->formatInfo->MediumTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'Q':
        return $this->formatInfo->FullTimePattern;
        break;
      case 'f':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'F':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->LongDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'g':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->ShortTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'G':
        return $this->formatInfo->formatDateTime($this->formatInfo->ShortDatePattern, $this->formatInfo->LongTimePattern);
        break;
      case 'i':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd';
        break;
      case 'I':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'M':
      case 'm':
        return 'MMMM dd';
        break;
      case 'R':
      case 'r':
        return 'EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 's':
        return 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'u':
        return 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z';
        break;
      case 'U':
        return 'EEEE dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss';
        break;
      case 'Y':
      case 'y':
        return 'yyyy MMMM';
        break;
      default :
        return $pattern;
    }

That’s really good to don’t lose time.

After get some problems with Subversion at “command-line” in linux I decided to use the Zend Studio plugin. Very easy, until Windows Vista fuck me.

Well, after some time studying, and NOT FOUNDING anything on internet searches, I’ll be a good guy and put here the solution if you are getting problems with Zend Studio with Subversion in Windows Vista, OPEN THE ZEND STUDIO as Adminitrator.

What is the problem that I get?

svn: Can’t determine the system config path

Now, you can enjoy your friday, using this plugin!

I’m really busy. I have a BIG TODO list, many things to study, and less time. Well, you can include some clients that not had paid me (normal here, NORMAL!?! well, that’s comum, person that use and not pay, it’s boring, time doesn’t is money always, sometimes your time is trash to some people). One month without surf, sixmonths without soccer, really this last weeks was being hard.

Time? Watch Lost? Study english? Nope, only work, work, work…

I promise, as soon as the things be more “normal” I’ll post some good things about Symfony, I’m learning a lot and I can say, Symfony x Cakephp?!? Well, symfony of course, and as I’m not fan of Rails, I like more and more Symfony.

I hope you like the new layout, downloaded and instaled in five minutes, as well the new option, to see my website in english, spanish, and of course Portuguese.
