Req #79903 [NEW]: datetime: new format "p", same as "P" but returning "Z" for UTC

From: mail at gh01 dot de Operating system: PHP version: Next Major Version Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:datetime: new format "p", same as "P" but returning "Z" for UTC Description: ------------ ISO 8601 differentiates between local time (without time zone), UTC with letter "Z" and time offsets from UTC like "+02:00". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators When formatting datetimes, it is sometimes desired to get the "Z" for UTC times and otherwise the offset. But at the moment there are only the formatting chars "O" (for "+0200" etc.) and "P" (for "+02:00" etc.). I suggest to add lower case "p" as another formatting char which behaves the same as upper case "P" but returns "Z" for UTC datetimes. https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/5896 Test script: --------------- <?php $datetime = new DateTime('2020-07-26 20:00:00', new DateTimeZone('UTC')); $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sP'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00+00:00' $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sp'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00Z' $datetime = new DateTime('2020-07-26 20:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/London')); $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sP'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00+00:00' $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sp'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00+00:00' $datetime = new DateTime('2020-07-26 20:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')); $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sP'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00+02:00' $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sp'); // '2020-07-26T20:00:00+02:00' -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79903&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79903&r=mysqlcfg
