#36599 [NEW]: DATE_W3C format constant incorrect

From: d dot begley at uws dot edu dot au Operating system: Solaris 9 (SPARC) PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: DATE_W3C format constant incorrect Description: ------------ The new date() format constants introduced in PHP 5.1.1: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php include a format called DATE_W3C, for which the example shown is: 2005-08-15T15:52:01+0000 Whilst this matches the output of live code in PHP, the actual format of the timezone offset is missing a colon (as per the oft-quoted W3C tech note). I know adding a colon seems "wrong", but that's what the W3C doc includes: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime I came across this as the "standard" W3C format (I know the doc itself isn't a standard) because other specs (such as Dublin Core Metadata) refer to the above URL for format information - therefore, the colon must be "significant", no matter how "wrong" it seems. Reproduce code: --------------- date( DATE_W3C, getlastmod() ) Expected result: ---------------- 2006-03-03T15:41:46+11:00 Actual result: -------------- 2006-03-03T15:41:46+1100 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36599&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36599&r=mysqlcfg
