Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53712&edit=1 ID: 53712 Comment by: simon dot lindhen at hotmail dot com Reported by: mpchanzy at proxecom dot fr Summary: DateTime::createFromFormat using format ('W') doesn't work Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Date/time related Operating System: XP Pro PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: To create a DateTime from a week you can use: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.setisodate.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-26 21:46:57] philip@php.net Marking as a datetime feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-12 18:57:54] altrozero at gmail dot com This is probably more of a feature request than a bug as 'W' isn't listed in the documentation for DateTime::createFromFormat neither are a few other characters that are supported by date. You may as well just use the date() function if you wish to use 'W' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-11 15:51:28] derick@php.net "W" is not part of that list at all—it is not supported. The documentation also states http://uk.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php: The format that the passed in string should be in. See the formatting options below. In *most cases*, the same letters as for the date() can be used. Perhaps you're looking at an outdated translation of the manual? It looks that the French version of the manual is indeed outdated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-11 11:45:24] mpchanzy at proxecom dot fr I just changed the title to make it more explicit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-11 11:35:29] mpchanzy at proxecom dot fr Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.createfromformat#Liste de paramètres --- DateTime::createFromFormat('W','1') returns false when it should probably return the date of the first week of the year. 'W' is a date() compatible format Test script: --------------- $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('W','1'); Expected result: ---------------- it should return something like this: public 'date' => string '2011-01-03 10:17:40' (length=19) public 'timezone_type' => int 3 public 'timezone' => string 'UTC' (length=3) Actual result: -------------- false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53712&edit=1
