Doc #63360 [NEW]: Changelog may be incorrect

From: wachsmuth at cominto dot de Operating system: windows PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Changelog may be incorrect Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.modify --- Hello, the Changelog says with PHP 5.3.6 "Absolute date/time statements now take effect" I run following script with PHP 5.3.8. The first two times and the last time it is correct. But modify('now') does not set the date to "now" like setTimeStamp(time()). The documentation here is misleading Test script: --------------- $d = new DateTime(); $d->setTimeStamp(strtotime('2012-10-25')); assertThis(25, $d); $d->modify('-1 day'); assertThis(24, $d); $d->modify('now'); assertThis(25, $d); $d->setTimeStamp(time()); assertThis(25, $d); function assertThis($expected, $actual) { print 'expected ' . $expected . ' - ' . $actual->format('d') . " actual\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- expected 25 - 25 actual expected 24 - 24 actual expected 25 - 25 actual expected 25 - 25 actual Actual result: -------------- expected 25 - 25 actual expected 24 - 24 actual expected 25 - 24 actual expected 25 - 25 actual -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63360&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63360&r=mysqlcfg
