Thank you.
I'm trying to create URLs from dates and at one point I get a concat that
outputs "/path/to/url/..." instead of "/path/to/url/12/04/index.html".
I checked the code and put format instead of concat and got the same result.
All the things I try to concat are strings that I progressively build over
other strings, and edebug gives me correct values up to the point where the
wrong string is created...
I'm going to re-check the whole thing...
