Having in mind how objects in PHP5 are returned, I can accept this, but this must be documented properly and shouldn't cause crash. Reproduce code: --------------- $d = new DateTime(); $old_tz = $d->getTimezone(); $d->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC')); // setDate() and setTime() may go here - just for this example to make some sense $d->setTimezone($old_tz); echo "Success"; Expected result: ---------------- Success Actual result: -------------- PHP interpreter crashes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45038&edit=1
