Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51950&edit=1 ID: 51950 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: jmf at durcommefaire dot net Summary: DateTime does not handle decimal fractions of ISO 8601 format -Status: Assigned +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04 PHP Version: 5.3.2 -Assigned To: derick +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php DateTime::ISO8601 is defined to "Y-m-d\TH:i:sO"[1], so obviously it doesn't accept microsecond fractions. If you expect these to be given, use another format specifier, see <https://3v4l.org/ADn0l>. If you want to accept different ISO-8601 date/time formats, don't use date_create_from_format(), but rather date_create(), see <https://3v4l.org/c879B>.
