Description:
------------
hello

$a = DateTime::createFromFormat("H:i", "1:1");

doesn't create the istance because minutes part require two digits

but this code doesn't produce a php warning or notice, even an exception, none at 
all

it returns false, but it is a constructor...

so why I need to use the if(), when I'm in a try{} block?

I was thinking that php's new way was "converting to OOP".

The statement in the example 'works' in 5.3.3.

Here's what I'm using in my unit test for the presence of this bug:


$a = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i:s', 'asdf');  // should throw Exception


The statement actually returns false and does not throw an exception.

So you actually prefer to write

    try {
        $a = DateTime::createFromFormat("H:i", "1:1");
    } catch (DateTimeException $ex) {
        // handle failure
    }

instead of

    if (($a = DateTime::createFromFormat("H:i", "1:1")) === false) {
        // handle failure
    }

I don't.  Feel free to pursue the RFC process[1], though. :)
