Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-18 17:24:26] cmb@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I've learned that those military timezones are only a small subset of allowed timezone abbreviations (see timezone_abbreviations_list()). These are all documented now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-18 17:21:51] cmb@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of cmb Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&amp;revision=339390 Log: Fix #65747: DateTime __construct error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-18 17:19:18] cmb@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of cmb Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&amp;revision=339389 Log: Enhance timezone list generator to also emit timezone abbreviations (see #65747) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-17 22:25:53] cmb@php.net For reference, requinix' script from above with its output: <https://3v4l.org/1sqnT>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-18 22:59:40] vascowhite at gmail dot com That doesn't explain why DateTimeZone::construct() doesn't recognise a valid time zone like 'z', nor does it explain why $dateTime = new \DateTime(null, 'z'); raises an exception. If 'z' is a valid tz, it should not. There is a bug in there somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
