From: Operating system: CentOS 5.4 PHP version: 5.3SVN-2010-03-08 (SVN) Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:echo $dt->date doesn't work unless preceeded by print_r($dt)
Description: ------------ This example was taken straight from the DateTime::createFromFormat page at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php After performing a DateTime::createFromFormat, the variable assigned doesn't seem to work. HOWEVER, the variable assigned DOES seem to work after being used in a print_r function. Please look at the test script and output. What am I doing wrong? Condensed Code Snippet: ======================= $format = 'Y-m-d'; $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '2009-02-03'); echo "<br>Format: $format; " . $dt->date . " (Should print \"2009-02-03 [time]\")<br>"; print_r($dt); echo "<br>Format: $format; " . $dt->date . " (Should print \"2009-02-03 [time]\")<br>"; Output: ======= Format: Y-m-d; (Should print "2009-02-03 [time]") DateTime Object ( [date] => 2009-02-03 06:23:24 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => America/New_York ) Format: Y-m-d; 2009-02-03 06:23:24 (Should print "2009-02-03 [time]") Test script: --------------- Code Snippet: ============= $format = 'Y-m-d'; $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '2009-02-03'); echo "<br>Format: $format; " . $dt->date .
