Doc #63415 [NEW]: Code example incorrect

From: mike at mikehoward dot com dot au Operating system: not relevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Code example incorrect Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetimezone.getoffset#refsect1- datetimezone.getoffset-examples --- The example for getOffset says: // Calculate the GMT offset for the date/time contained in the $dateTimeTaipei // object, but using the timezone rules as defined for Tokyo // ($dateTimeZoneJapan). $timeOffset = $dateTimeZoneJapan->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei); This is not correct. You can't pass a DateTime object when used this way. Test script: --------------- // This is not a test script - this is a suggestion to replace the current example // Create a timezone object $dateTimeZoneSyd = new DateTimeZone("Australia/Sydney"); // Create a DateTime object (it's daylight savings time now - 2012-11-02) $dateTimeSydney = new DateTime("now", $dateTimeZoneSyd); // Calculate the GMT offset for the date/time contained in the object $timeOffset = $dateTimeSydney->getOffset(); // Should show int(39600). var_dump($timeOffset); -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63415&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63415&r=mysqlcfg
