Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat doesn't return a valid DateTime
Object?
Description:
------------
When creating a new DateTime object via DateTime::createFromFormat() the
date / timezone_type and timezone methods return: PHP Notice: Undefined
property: ...etc.
If you var_dump() the object however and then call these methods they
suddenly work / return what is expected.
See test script for example.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
/*
PHP 5.3.2 / 5.3.3 (cli)
*/
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$x = '2010-07-21 20:49:07';
// $tz = new DateTimeZone('America/New_York'); // broken even with out
this.
// $y = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $x, $tz); // doesn't make
a difference.
$y = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $x);
echo $y->date; // PHP Notice: Undefined property: DateTime::$date
var_dump($y); // Something magical happens.
echo $y->date; // Suddenly this works.
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Would expect to see the proper output of calling $y->date on line #15 and
not need to call var_dump($y) to get it to work?
Actual result:
--------------
# php tmp.php
PHP Notice: Undefined property: DateTime::$date in /path/to/tmp.php on
line 15
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() /path/to/tmp.php:0
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(19) "2010-07-21 20:49:07"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(16) "America/New_York"
}
