Bug #76838 [NEW]: date_parse_from_format() changed meaning of zone value in PHP 7.2 -> BC break

From: me at vasekpurchart dot cz Operating system: PHP version: 7.2.9 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:date_parse_from_format() changed meaning of zone value in PHP 7.2 -> BC break Description: ------------ In PHP 7.2 the result returned from date_parse_from_format() for zone parameter differs in moving from returning value in minutes to seconds and also the positive/negative sign differs. This is a BC break and should have been at least documented, but I have not found any mention of this in any of the http://php.net/manual/en/migration72.php links. Test script: --------------- <?php // runnable version with results https://3v4l.org/4vajJ $format = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'; $timeString = '2018-09-04T16:15:55+0200'; $parsedTime = date_parse_from_format($format, $timeString); var_dump($parsedTime); Expected result: ---------------- int(-120) Actual result: -------------- int(7200) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76838&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76838&r=mysqlcfg
