From: mathieuk at gmail dot com Operating system: Mac OSX 10.5.3 PHP version: 5.3CVS-2008-08-03 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Allow method-chaining for misc. DateTime methods Description: ------------ Feature request. Might be nice if the new DateTime::add(), DateTime::sub() and already existing DateTime::modify() methods would allow method chaining. Reproduce code: --------------- $datetime = new DateTime(); $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('2 weeks'); echo $datetime->add($interval)->format('d-m-Y H:i'); Expected result: ---------------- An echo'ed string showing the date of 2 weeks from 'now'. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object in /Users/mathieu/Source/tests/datetime/Modify.php on line 4 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45696&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45696&r=mysqlcfg
