Bug description:Case discrepancy in timezone names cause Uncaught exception and
fatal error
Description:
------------
Hi
There seem to be a discrepency for timezones names as reported by
timezone_abbreviations_list() and the DateTime object parser. We have found
a (small) numbre of timezones for which this happens:
Been reported and reproduced with PHP 5.1.41 adn PHP 5.2.13
Test script:
---------------
1 - Get identifiers list:
$all = timezone_abbreviations_list();
The resulting array contains, for instance:
[54] => Array
(
[dst] =>
[offset] => 36000
[timezone_id] => Australia/NSW
)
2 - Use this timezone_id to create a DateTimeObject
$dateString = "2010-05-15 00:00:00 Australia/NSW";
$date = new DateTime( $dateString);
Expected result:
----------------
A DateTime object created
The above code runs without problem if timezone identifier (Australia/NSW)
is replaced by Australia/Nsw.
I have found the following timezones to have the same issue:
Australia/ACT
NZ-CHAT
America/Know_IN
Australia/LHI
Chile/EasterIsland
Europe/Isle_of_Man
In others, all timezones names that do not follow camelcase strictly. There
are probably others.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message
'DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time
string (2010-05-15 00:00:00 Australia/NSW) at position 20 (A): The timezone
could not be found in the database' in /XXXX/test.php on line 4
