Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-13 21:46:20] jeremycook0 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Since upgrading to PHP 5.3.4 I'm finding that DateTime::__construct() emits an error of level E_WARNING instead of an Exception when passed an invalid date/time string. Test script: --------------- $date = new DateTime('foo'); Expected result: ---------------- An Exception should be raised. Actual result: -------------- An error of level E_WARNING. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53542&edit=1
