Bug #76554 [Nab]: DateTimeImmutable::format() returns invalid result for DST date time

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76554&edit=1 ID: 76554 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: learncomp at mail dot ru Summary: DateTimeImmutable::format() returns invalid result for DST date time Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Linux, 4.16.13-2-ARCH PHP Version: 7.3.0alpha2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Does your clock show 2am when DST starts? No, because the spring DST transition does not have a 2am. If you ask PHP for 2am at that moment then it will assume you meant 3am during DST. Does your clock show 2am when DST ends? Yes, because the fall DST transition does have a 2am. If you ask PHP for 2am at that moment then PHP assumes you meant 2am standard time. There are actually two 2am times, so if you don't give an explicit UTC offset (eg, CET or CEST) then PHP chooses the one during standard time.

I'm not sure either this is a bug or not as I don't have enough information to decide but probably it can be the bug. Test script: --------------- <?php // For the start date time + 1 hour it prints 2018-03-25 03:00:00, which is incorrect? echo (new \DateTimeImmutable('2018-03-25 02:00:00', new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Oslo')))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // However for the end date time it does not change the value, tried for the dates: "2018-10-27 23:00:00", "2018-10-28 00:00:00", "2018-10-28 01:00:00", "2018-10-28 02:00:00", "2018-10-28 03:00:00", "2018-10-28 04:00:00", "2018-10-28 05:00:00", "2018-10-28 06:00:00" like so: // echo (new \DateTimeImmutable('2018-10-28 03:00:00', new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Oslo')))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // It always returns the same value, which I think is correct. Expected result: ---------------- 2018-03-25 02:00:00 Actual result: -------------- 2018-03-25 03:00:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76554&edit=1
