note 107452 added to datetime.createfromformat

It seems that a pipe ('|') option in formating string works only with PHP version 5.3.8 and newer. We had an issue with it on versions 5.3.2, 5.3.3, 5.3.6. Yet it was fine with 5.3.8 and 5.3.10. By short example: <?php $timezone = new DateTimeZone('UTC'); $dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('dmY|', '01011972', $timezone); //$dateTime is FALSE in PHP v <5.3.8 ?> Instead we used a workaround: <?php $dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('dmY', '01011972', $timezone); $dateTime->format('Y-m-d 00:00:00'); ?> which works fine. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.210.35.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107452 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107452 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107452 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
