I don't think it's a good reason to close issue, but that't fine. but this issue focus on the different behaviors of $d->date before and after print_r. There is no doubt that this inconsistency is a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-22 11:41:46] daverandom@php.net Dupe of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49382 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-20 09:05:04] gooh@php.net For the sake of completeness, this also happens when var_dump'ing or ReflectionObject::export'ing: php > $dt = new DateTime; php > var_dump($dt); object(DateTime)#3 (3) { ["date"]=> string(26) "2017-09-20 10:57:54.000000" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(13) "Europe/Berlin" } php > echo $dt->date; 2017-09-20 10:57:54.000000 php > $dt = new DateTime; php > ReflectionObject::export($dt); Object of class [ <internal:date> class DateTime implements DateTimeInterface ] { // some lines omitted … - Dynamic properties [3] { Property [ <dynamic> public $date ] Property [ <dynamic> public $timezone_type ] Property [ <dynamic> public $timezone ] } // some lines omitted … } php > echo $dt->date; 2017-09-20 10:57:57.000000 So it adds three public properties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
