Doc #72514 [Ver]: Behaviour of relative date format "this week" has changed

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72514&edit=1 ID: 72514 Updated by: tyrael@php.net Reported by: roelharbers at gmail dot com Summary: Behaviour of relative date format "this week" has changed Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem Package: Date/time related Operating System: Ubuntu, OSX PHP Version: 5.6.23 Assigned To: tyrael Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: for the record the NEWS entry is there, but was added to the wrong php version (5.6.21), while in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63740 it was communicated as it will present in 5.6.22 (which did not happen as the commit was made after 5.6.22RC1 was tagged) while actually it was released in 5.6.23. I've updated the NEWS in PHP-5.6 and the Changelog. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 11:47:20] cmb@php.net I've added a changelog entry to the "Relative Formats" section. Ferenc, can you please add the missing NEWS and Changelog entries? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 11:44:52] cmb@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of cmb Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&amp;revision=339521 Log: Fix #72514: Behaviour of relative date format &quot;this week&quot; has changed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 11:36:31] cmb@php.net Behavioral change confirmed: <https://3v4l.org/R4T5a>. Apparently, this week is a shortcut for Monday this week, and the date extension assumes monday to be the first day of the week. Thus, the behavior before PHP 5.6.23 has to be regarded as a bug, what has been reported as bug #63740, and recently been fixed[1]. Even though this commit added a NEWS entry, this did neither make it into the PHP 5.6.23 NEWS[2] nor the Changelog[3] nor to the NEWS/Changelog of later versions.

In php v5.6.23, it returns the previous monday. It might be that the new behaviour is better, however, I find no mention of this backward compatibility breaking change in the changelog. Test script: --------------- for v in 5.6.22 5.6.23; do ( echo $v: ; docker run --rm php:$v php -r 'date_default_timezone_set("UTC");echo (new DateTime("2016-06-19"))->modify("this week")->format("c")."\n";') done Expected result: ---------------- I expect both versions to return the same. Actual result: -------------- 5.6.22: 2016-06-20T12:00:00+00:00 5.6.23: 2016-06-13T12:00:00+00:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72514&edit=1
