date_format() php,PHP: DateTime::format - Manual

The udate function is a great start, but the formatting of the milliseconds is a little off. If it is within the first 100000 microseconds then the string will be less than 6 characters, so 0.012435 will appear as 0.12345. The revision below fixes this.

function udate($strFormat = 'u', $uTimeStamp = null)

{

// If the time wasn't provided then fill it in

if (is_null($uTimeStamp))

{

$uTimeStamp = microtime(true);

}

// Round the time down to the second

$dtTimeStamp = floor($uTimeStamp);

// Determine the millisecond value

$intMilliseconds = round(($uTimeStamp - $dtTimeStamp) * 1000000);

// Format the milliseconds as a 6 character string

$strMilliseconds = str_pad($intMilliseconds, 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);

// Replace the milliseconds in the date format string

// Then use the date function to process the rest of the string

return date(preg_replace('`(?
