Doc #69380 [NEW]: Insufficient "Date Format" example in online documentation

From: php at christian-stuedemann dot de Operating system: all PHP version: 5.6.8RC1 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Insufficient "Date Format" example in online documentation Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.formats.date --- In "Localized Notations" the 7th line says >>Day, month and two digit year, with dots or tabs dd [.\t] mm "." yy "30.6.08", "22\t12\t78"<< The last example "22\t12\t78" does not match to the RegExp and is not accepted by the DateTime constructor (which is correct, but the example is not). The second tab must be a dot to meet the RegExp: "22\t12.78" Implementation seems to be correct, but documentation/example must be maintained. Test script: --------------- function testDateTimeExample() { $mustBeValid = new DateTime("22\t12.78"); try { $isInvalid = new DateTime("22\t12\t78"); }catch(Exception $e){ // log $e } } -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69380&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69380&r=mysqlcfg
