Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45173&edit=1 ID: 45173 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported by: peter dot bex at solide-ict dot nl Summary: strftime formatting on datetime objects -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Date/time related Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 5.2.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This won't be fixed. The now new Intl::DateFormatter based on ICU should be used instead of strftime. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-07-28 21:38:05] mail at gh01 dot de Instead of adding a new method to the datetime classes, maybe the strftime function could accept datetime objects as second param? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-04 12:23:58] peter dot bex at solide-ict dot nl Description: ------------ 1) The regular 'format' method on datetime objects only accepts date() syntax, which is severely limited in what you can do with it. The strftime syntax is more powerful. 2) As discussed in bug 45167, there's no way to call strftime using datetime object values reliably, because there are ways to create datetime objects with bogus timezone objects (objects which can not be recreated nor can their names be passed to date_default_timezone_set). Because of 1) and 2), there is a need to get strftime integrated in the datetime class.
