Bug #54316 DateTime::createFromFormat does not handle trailing '|' correctly
Submitted: 2011-03-19 12:34 UTC Modified: 2011-03-21 10:41 UTC
From: gtisza at gmail dot com Assigned: aharvey (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Date/time related
PHP Version: 5.3.6 OS: Windows XP, Debian 2.6
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2011-03-19 12:34 UTC] gtisza at gmail dot com
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.createfromformat
---

According to the documentation:

"""
| - Resets all fields (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction and timzone information) to the Unix Epoch if they have not been parsed yet

Y-m-d| will set the year, month and day to the information found in the string to parse, and sets the hour, minute and second to 0.
"""

Actually, it fails to parse the date (but works correctly when | is not at the end of the string).

Tested on PHP 5.3.2/Win XP and PHP 5.3.5/Debian. Can't test on 5.3.6 right now as windows.php.net seems unavailable.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d|', '2011-02-02'));
$errors = DateTime::getLastErrors();
var_dump($errors['errors']);


Expected result:
----------------
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2011-02-02 00:00:00"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(3)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(15) "Europe/Budapest"
}

array(0) {
}


Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

array(1) {
  [10]=>
  string(12) "Data missing"
}
