That would be too confusing, as PHP auto casts and "20070119" is something quite different from the unix timestamp 20070119. What you can do is pass this to the ctor: "@20070119" - the @ makes it interpret as a Unix timestamp.

In most of the scenarios that I have encountered I need to create a DateTime object from UTC timestamp. Can the constructor be changed to accept string or integer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40171&edit=1
