#48734 [NEW]: date.timezone.errors.description lacks change from E_STRICT to E_WARNING

From: mumumu at mumumu dot org Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: date.timezone.errors.description lacks change from E_STRICT to E_WARNING Description: ------------ On the latest date/time related documentation, it has error/exception description as follows, in language-snippets.ent's date.timezone.errors.description. "Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set()" Strictly speaking, this is not valid. From PHP 5.3.0 RC1, date/time related functions emits not E_STRICT but E_WARNING. Yes, This change is explained in date_default_timezone_set function, but we should change this generic error description because this change will affects all date/time related functions, I think. Reproduce code: --------------- for example, strtotime function's "Errors/Exceptions" section. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Expected result: ---------------- Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set() Actual result: -------------- Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable.
