ID: 40171 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: rkumar at msgme dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment: That would be too confusing, as PHP auto casts and "20070119" is something quite different from the unix timestamp 20070119. What you can do is pass this to the ctor: "@20070119" - the @ makes it interpret as a Unix timestamp. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-19 16:27:05] rkumar at msgme dot com Description: ------------ The constructor for DateTime object currently takes a string as a parameter. In most of the scenarios that I have encountered I need to create a DateTime object from UTC timestamp. Can the constructor be changed to accept string or integer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40171&edit=1
