Bug #66201 [NEW]: DateTime::createFromFormat returns DateTime object although the date is invalid

From: ante dot drnasin at wirecard dot com Operating system: Win7 Pro x64 PHP version: 5.5.6 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat returns DateTime object although the date is invalid Description: ------------ As per manual DateTime::createFromFormat returns DateTime object or false. Test script: --------------- $sDate = "25.27.2013"; //d.m.Y format $mDateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat("d.m.Y", $sDate); if($mDateTime instanceof DateTime) { print("Date is ok!"); } else { print("Date not ok!"); } var_dump($mDateTime); var_dump(DateTime::getLastErrors()); Expected result: ---------------- Date not ok! $mDateTime = false; DateTime::getLastErrors() holds "The parsed date was invalid" message Actual result: -------------- Date is ok. (converted to 2015-03-25 10:57:26 which is weird but ok. can swallow that although it doesn't make any sense to calculate a "real" date from 25.27.2013 input to begin with) $mDateTime is DateTime object BUT! DateTime::getLastErrors() is: array(4) { ["warning_count"]=> int(1) ["warnings"]=> array(1) { [10]=> string(27) "The parsed date was invalid" } ["error_count"]=> int(0) ["errors"]=> array(0) { } } so there are erros in error array but the date is valid and is DateTime object instead of false!? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66201&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66201&r=mysqlcfg
