Port Of PHP's Date() Function To Javascript
Dec 7, 2002Okay, this an attempt to port PHP's date() function as much as possible to JavaScript. Could use some refactoring though. Any critique, comments, appraisal and any other opinion is very welcome. Feel free to discuss and also take a look at beetles code here: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11069
Oh, and the date() function is described here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

"January", "February", "March", "April",
"May", "June", "July", "August",
"September", "October", "November", "December"
);

"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
);
Date.prototype.format = function (formatStr) {
var heap = formatStr.split("");
var resHeap = new Array(heap.length);
var escapeChar = ""; // you can change this to something different, but
// don't use a character that has a formatting meaning,
// unless you want to disable it's functionality
// go through array and extract identifiers from its fields
