Fixes doc bug #64908 (DateTime's constructor accepts time that not exists because of DST). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-23 18:31:26] aharvey@php.net Reopening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-23 18:29:41] derick@php.net That's wrong, it should say "invalid date *format*". Marking this as a doc issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-23 18:17:46] istvan dot dani at gmail dot com Yep. Manual at http://hu1.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php says: "If an invalid date is specified, then an exception is now thrown. Previously an error was emitted." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-23 17:22:23] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP's date time handling auto-corrects wrong date/time values. This is similar to doing: <?php $n = new DateTime("2013-04-31"); var_dump( $n ); ?> class DateTime#1 (3) { public $date => string(19) "2013-05-01 00:00:00" public $timezone_type => int(3) public $timezone => string(13) "Europe/London" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
