Description:
------------
Date modifications utilizing the "weekdays" keyword change the resulting date to 
have zero values for hour/minute/second units.  Prior to PHP 5.3.6, the time 
values were unaffected.

Test script:
---------------
<?php 
    
$dt = new DateTime('2011-05-10 12:34:56', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$dt->modify('10 weekdays');
echo $dt->format('r');

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Tue, 24 May 2011 12:34:56 +0000

Actual result:
--------------
Tue, 24 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This bug also applies to the strtotime() function.

<?php
$start = '2015-09-25 11:25:23';
$formats = array(
	'1 second',
	'1 minute',
	'1 hour',
	'1 day',
	'1 weekday',
	'1 weeks',
	'1 month',
	'1 year',
);
echo "Start\t\t\tDateTime\t\tstrtotime\t\tformat\n";
foreach ($formats as $format):
	$datetime = new DateTime($start);
	echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\t";
	$datetime->modify($format);
	echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($format, strtotime($start)))."\t";
	echo $format."\n";
endforeach;
?>

Outputs:

Start			DateTime		strtotime		format

This still happens in php 7.0.x version (Linux, MacOSX)

Looks like the related behavior is defined here:

Comparing <https://3v4l.org/OhHNJ> and <https://3v4l.org/N337o>
this looks like a bug to me, but after that long time, it might as
well be considered a documentation issue.
