Test script: --------------- use IntlDateFormatter; $formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('en_GB', 3, 3, 'Europe/London', 0, null); $date = '2019-12-10 10:10:00'; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $formatter->parse($date)); Expected result: ---------------- null Actual result: -------------- 2016-06-10 09:10:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77733&edit=1
