[Bug 1670885] Re: format_date function returns false (Windows)
When testing this patch, it needs to be checked that the date display
for date and time is still the same as in 16.10. The best to check is in
the forums as a forum entry contains the date and the time.

Title:
format_date function returns false (Windows)
Status in Mahara:
In Progress
Bug description:
format_date() function uses undelying strftime function.
It is known that %e modifier is not supported. However when I use
format_date() function with the following formatkey 'strftimedatetime'
which translates to '%%d %%B %%Y, %%l:%%M %%p' (for English language)
the functon returns false.
According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12362179/why-does-
strftime-on-windows-returns-false-im-not-using-e the modifier %l is
the problematic one. If it is changed to %#I (under Windows) then it
works as expected...
