If used with a static method or function, the referent is the current system timestamp. However, if used in DateTime::modify() or DateTimeImmutable::modify(), the referent is the object on which the modify() method is called." Thank you! Test script: --------------- <?php header("Content-Type: text/plain"); $thisMonthDateTime = date_create("first day of this month"); echo $thisMonthDateTime->format("Y-m-d") . "\r\n"; $januaryDateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d", "2019-01-15"); $januaryDateTime->modify("first day of this month"); echo $januaryDateTime->format("Y-m-d"); Actual result: -------------- The two displayed dates are different, AS THEY SHOULD BE. What is missing is DOCUMENTATION of the behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78000&edit=1
