Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-07-27 11:13:54] requinix@php.net The memory problem is gone but there's still no way to detect failure - error information generated when processing the string is discarded and should be used to decide whether to return false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-07-27 11:06:23] nyamsprod at gmail dot com var_dump(date_interval_create_from_date_string('foobar') == new DateInterval('PT0S')); I would expect date_interval_create_from_date_string to return false I would expect DateInterval::createFromDateString to return null or to throw an Exception. Currently you cannot distinguish between a DateInterval with 0s duration and a failed parsing of the duration string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-30 10:41:36] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided.

To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. Couldn't reproduce the memory issue from 5.3.0 onwards: http://3v4l.org/kPMor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
