Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77896&edit=1 ID: 77896 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: renan-sub at protonmail dot com Summary: DateInterval::createFromDateString() no longer supports relative formats Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Date/time related PHP Version: 7.3.4 Assigned To: derick Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's not particularly about "and", see <https://3v4l.org/cVbcv>. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-15 15:48:01] requinix@php.net "and" (where the parsing fails) should probably then be added to the docs as a supported/ignored word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-15 13:06:52] renan-sub at protonmail dot com It also fails in 7.2.17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-15 12:59:11] renan-sub at protonmail dot com Description: ------------ When calling DateInterval::createFromDateString() with "6 years and 4 months" as argument, it generates a warning. (See https://3v4l.org/sQjh2) Note: as a workaround (for the case mentioned) I'm using new \DateInterval('P6Y4M') Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(\DateInterval::createFromDateString('6 years and 4 months')); Expected result: ---------------- object(DateInterval)#1 (16) { ["y"]=> int(6) ["m"]=> int(4) ["d"]=> int(0) ["h"]=> int(0) ["i"]=> int(0) ["s"]=> int(0) ["f"]=> float(0) ["weekday"]=> int(0) ["weekday_behavior"]=> int(0) ["first_last_day_of"]=> int(0) ["invert"]=> int(0) ["days"]=> bool(false) ["special_type"]=> int(0) ["special_amount"]=> int(0) ["have_weekday_relative"]=> int(0) ["have_special_relative"]=> int(0) } Actual result: -------------- Warning: DateInterval::createFromDateString(): Unknown or bad format (6 years and 4 months) at position 8 (a) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77896&edit=1
