The defination:

 * @uses HOURSECS
 * @param  int $date timestamp in GMT
 * @param string $format strftime format
 * @param float $timezone
 * @param boolean $fixday If true (default) then the leading
 * zero from %d is removed. If false then the leading zero is mantained.
 * @return string
 */
function userdate($date, $format='', $timezone=99, $fixday = true) {

Why do things like this? If users don't like the leading zero, they can change the 'strf*' string to "%e" instead of "%d", though "%e" has a leading space. But in the recent code, if I would like to see the leading zero, I must modify the source code.
Is there any other solution to solve this problem? Thank you!

I just found this:
$CFG->nofixday = true;

But it seems not work. Is it a bug?

In moodle.php:
    if ($fixday and empty($CFG->nofixday)) {    // Config.php can force %d not to be fixed.
        $fixday = ($formatnoday != $format);
    }

Can this code work? If $CFG->nofixday isn't empty, $fixday will still be true.

Thanks, yes, that's screwy! Try this (in CVS now):

    if (!empty($CFG->nofixday)) {  // Config.php can force %d not to be fixed.
        $fixday = false;
    } else if ($fixday) {
        $formatnoday = str_replace('%d', 'DD', $format);
        $fixday = ($formatnoday != $format);
    }

So efficient!!!

But config-dist.php says:

// This setting will cause the userdate() function not to fix %d in
// date strings, and just let them show with a zero prefix.
//      $CFG->nofixday = true;

If someone defines it to false...

No, that's OK.

empty($var) is true if $var is false or doesn't exist.
