  PHx gobbles up place holders in snippet calls when it shouldn’t.
  
  Please have a look at this discussion and a hint to a possible solution

  Hi,
  
  When I place this in a ditto template:
  

  [+date+]

  
  I get ’28-May-07 17:51’
  
  But when I try to format it using PHx like this...
  

  [*date:date=`%a %B %d, %Y at %H:%M`*]

  
  
  I get Thu ’January 01, 1970 at 01:00’ AKA zero in unix time stamp.
  
  Any ideas?

  Clevely,
  
  Are you trying to format it using a ditto chunk or a TV? If its for a TV it looks like the TV is empty and has a default value of 0. i have had no problems using PHx in both a TV or a Ditto. The other curious thing is I wonder if PHx has a bug and is seeing the first "date" string as a formatter. What happens if you change the name of the date variable?
  
  What about if you try to format the ditto chunk like so: [+date:date=`%a %B %d, %Y at %H:%M`+]. Do you still get the same result?

  I believe that the :date modifier in PHx expects that the value to be modified is in unix timestamp form.. You can do your own date modifier by creating a snippet with name phx:mydate and with this content:
  
  

  <?php
  return strftime($options, strtotime($output));
  ?>
  

  
  
  Then in the chunk, use [+date:mydate=`%a %B %d, %Y at %H:%M`+]

  I’ve made some improvements to PHx, allowing it to get custom modifiers from files, as well as snippets. This is much easier when it comes to distributing custom modifiers (as they can simply be downloaded, rather than having to be copied into database) and copying between sites, or incorporating into new sites.
  
  Can anyone see any drawback to this approach, or any reason why it shouldn’t be used? I’ve contact the author, but no reply yet.

  Armand is very busy being a dad for the first time. I don’t think anyone would object, and personally think it’s a great idea.

  Understandable then!! I’ll tidy up the files and upload them to the repository.
