#40691 [NEW]: Incorrect results of DateTime equality check

From: hans at velum dot net Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: Incorrect results of DateTime equality check Description: ------------ The equality check (==) for DateTime objects does not actually check the properties of the object (i.e. the internally stored date). This is very counter-intuitive as it does not follow the behavior of user-created objects or even other internal PHP objects like Exception. Reproduce code: --------------- $d1 = new DateTime("2001-01-01"); $d2 = new DateTime("2007-02-28"); print "DateTime Equal? " . var_export($d1 == $d2, true) . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- DateTime Equal? false Actual result: -------------- DateTime Equal? true -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40691&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40691&r=mysqlcfg
