Bug #53833 [NEW]: DateTime::createFromFormat's DateTimeZone parameter ignored

From: Operating system: Debian 5.0.3 PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat's DateTimeZone parameter ignored Description: ------------ I'm loading a DateTime object by a UNIX timestamp. I assumed it would use the local timezone configured (e.g. date() behavior) but it defaults to UTC. When passing a DateTimeZone object into the third parameter of DateTime::createFromFormat, it does nothing. Setting the timezone using DateTime::setTimezone after the DateTime object has loaded gives the correct result. See examples. Test script: --------------- <?php $time = 1293800400; $tz = new DateTimeZone('Australia/Sydney'); // assumes local timezone var_dump(date('r', $time)); // sets to "+00:00", should assume local timezone var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $time)); // sets to "+00:00", ignores given DateTimeZone object var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $time, $tz)); // adjusts to given timezone correctly var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $time)->setTimezone($tz)); Expected result: ---------------- string(31) "Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +1100" object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2011-01-01 00:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Australia/Sydney" } object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2011-01-01 00:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Australia/Sydney" } object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2011-01-01 00:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Australia/Sydney" } Actual result: -------------- string(31) "Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +1100" object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2010-12-31 13:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(1) ["timezone"]=> string(6) "+00:00" } object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2010-12-31 13:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(1) ["timezone"]=> string(6) "+00:00" } object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "2011-01-01 00:00:00" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Australia/Sydney" } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53833&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53833&r=mysqlcfg
