Bug #53712 [Opn]: DateTime::createFromFormat using format ('W') doesn't work

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53712&edit=1 ID: 53712 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported by: mpchanzy at proxecom dot fr Summary: DateTime::createFromFormat using format ('W') doesn't work Status: Open Type: Bug -Package: Unknown/Other Function +Package: Translation problem Operating System: XP Pro PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: "W" is not part of that list at all—it is not supported. The documentation also states http://uk.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php: The format that the passed in string should be in. See the formatting options below. In *most cases*, the same letters as for the date() can be used. Perhaps you're looking at an outdated translation of the manual? It looks that the French version of the manual is indeed outdated.

'W' is a date() compatible format Test script: --------------- $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('W','1'); Expected result: ---------------- it should return something like this: public 'date' => string '2011-01-03 10:17:40' (length=19) public 'timezone_type' => int 3 public 'timezone' => string 'UTC' (length=3) Actual result: -------------- false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53712&edit=1
