* status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: Sorry to reopen this ticket again, but the last solution is still not really sufficient. The problem is when you pass over a empty (NULL) $date content (coming out of a database request). The time helper function format uses its function fromString and there it uses the PHP function strtotime which results to a error because the function is used with an empty string ($date = NULL). To make time->format finally working I have changed for me the time->fromString function as follows: {{{ function fromString($dateString, $userOffset = null) { if (empty($dateString)) return false; if (is_integer($dateString) || is_numeric($dateString)) { $date = intval($dateString); } else { $date = strtotime($dateString); } if ($userOffset !== null) { return $this->convert($date, $userOffset); } return $date; }}} As you can see I have only added one row {{{ if (empty($dateString)) return false; }}} which cancels the function when the date string is empty. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2709#comment:6> CakePHP : The Rapid Development Framework for PHP <https://trac.cakephp.org/> Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC.
