Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62704&edit=1 ID: 62704 Updated by: salathe@php.net Reported by: jachym dot tousek at gmail dot com Summary: 3rd argument of DateTime::createFromFormat doesn't work -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Windows 7 x64 PHP Version: 5.4.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: For the first "command" please see the note on the DateTime::createFromFormat() manual page [1] which states: The timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the time parameter either contains a UNIX timestamp (e.g. 946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).

If that behaviour is correct (I'm unsure) can you explain why are they different? Test script: --------------- var_export( DateTime::createFromFormat('U', 1343730289)->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone("Europe/Prague"))->getTimeZone()->getName() === DateTime::createFromFormat('U', 1343730289, new DateTimeZone("Europe/Prague"))->getTimeZone()->getName() ); Expected result: ---------------- true Actual result: -------------- false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62704&edit=1
