Sorry for misreading documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-07 19:59:41] stas@php.net The documentation for date_create_from_format states: ! Resets all fields (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction and timzone information) to the Unix Epoch Without !, all fields will be set to the current date and time. So maybe the format should be !Y-m-d? Would that solve the issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-26 10:45:49] lenzai2004-dev at yahoo dot fr Description: ------------ DateTime:createFromFormat() and DateTime::__construct are not consistent for parsing dates. __construct sets default time at 00:00:00 DateTime::createFromFormat() sets default time at current time Test script: --------------- var_export(DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d","2012-05-11")); var_export(new DateTime("2012-05-11")); Expected result: ---------------- DateTime::__set_state(array( 'date' => '2012-05-11 00:00:00', 'timezone_type' => 3, 'timezone' => 'Asia/Chongqing', )) DateTime::__set_state(array( 'date' => '2012-05-11 00:00:00', 'timezone_type' => 3, 'timezone' => 'Asia/Chongqing', )) Actual result: -------------- DateTime::__set_state(array( 'date' => '2012-05-11 18:34:45', 'timezone_type' => 3, 'timezone' => 'Asia/Chongqing', )) DateTime::__set_state(array( 'date' => '2012-05-11 00:00:00', 'timezone_type' => 3, 'timezone' => 'Asia/Chongqing', )) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62166&edit=1
