Bug #51866 [Opn]: DateTime::createFromFormat does not match documentation

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51866&edit=1 ID: 51866 Updated by: stas@php.net Reported by: smalyshev at sugarcrm dot com Summary: DateTime::createFromFormat does not match documentation Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2010-05-20 (SVN) New Comment: It also would be nice if this function could ignore extra input after the parsing and/or return where it stopped. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-20 04:01:27] smalyshev at sugarcrm dot com Description: ------------ The manual for DateTime::createFromFormat says: Format accepted by date(). If format does not contain the character ! then portions of the date/time value specified in format but not specified in time will be set to the current system time. However if you specify format like "d-m-Y H:i" and provide datetime string that does not contain time, parsing would fail - even though the manual says if time string does not contain parts from format it should use current system. Test script: --------------- <?php $date = DateTime::createFromFormat("d-m-Y H:i", "25-10-2007"); var_dump($date); Expected result: ---------------- Something like: object(DateTime)#1 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2007-10-25 18:58:31" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(19) "America/Los_Angeles" } Actual result: -------------- bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51866&edit=1
