Test script: --------------- I've used the CLI console to test it: php > $today = DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('Y-m-d|', '2013-08-22'); php > $tomorrow = $today->add(new DateInterval('P1D')); php > var_dump($today->format('Y-m-d'), $tomorrow->format('Y-m-d')); string(10) "2013-08-23" string(10) "2013-08-23" php > var_dump($today instanceof DateTimeImmutable); bool(false) php > var_dump($today instanceof DateTime); bool(true) Expected result: ---------------- $today must contain a DateTimeImmutable object and thus it must be immutable. Actual result: -------------- $today is a DateTime object instead of DateTimeImmutable ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65502&edit=1
