From: jennifer dot kimball at nrc dot ca Operating system: Solaris 10 PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: indeterminant DateInterval does not subtract correctly
Description: ------------ The logical behaviour of a DateInterval created with the "next" keyword, when subtracted from a DateTime, should be to use "last" instead of "next" in the calculation (and vice versa). Instead, it appears that DateIntervals created with "next" or "last" keywords cannot be subtracted from DateTimes with any accuracy. A DateTime results from the operation but has an unexpected value. Reproduce code: --------------- //positive DateInterval $da1=date_create(); $ds1=date_create(); $i=DateInterval::createFromDateString('third Tuesday of next month'); echo $da1->format('Y-m-d'); echo date_add($da1,$i)->format('Y-m-d');//works echo date_sub($ds1,$i)->format('Y-m-d');//fails with weird date //negative DateInterval $da2=date_create(); $ds2=date_create(); $i2=DateInterval::createFromDateString('third Tuesday of last month'); echo $da2->format('Y-m-d'); echo date_add($da2,$i2)->format('Y-m-d');//works echo date_sub($ds2,$i2)->format('Y-m-d');//fails with weird date Expected result: ---------------- 2009-11-02 //today 2009-12-15 //third Tuesday of December 2009-10-20 //third Tuesday of October 2009-11-02 //today 2009-10-20 //third Tuesday of October 2009-12-15 //third Tuesday of December Actual result: -------------- 2009-11-02 //today 2009-12-15 //third Tuesday of December 2009-09-18 //third Friday of September 2009-11-02 //today 2009-10-20 //third Tuesday of October 2009-11-18 //third Wednesday of November -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50055&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50055&r=mysqlcfg
