New Comment:
Of course it's easy. The point is, the codes are difficult to
remember, so I always have to look them up for every new use of date.
I was suggesting that 5 or 10 of the most common date formats be
predefined. like date("1") would be defined as date("F j, Y"), as a
simple example. This way, PHP developers would only need to remember
the single code that fits the date format they use most often, instead
of remembering that "F" is a month name.
It was a simple suggestion I thought you guys could very easily
implement, and would benefit the community. There was no need for
sarcasm.

Yes, and I'd like that PHP made coffee too.
Seriously, it's not that hard to put the formats you
use into a constant or variable..

I'd like to see the date() function have some predefined common date
formats:
date("1") = "2002-1-31"
date("2") = "January 31, 2002"
date("3") = etc...
I constantly keep looking up the little letters to make various super
common date formats. ("Is the month an F or an M or an m?")
