From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:DateTime::createFromFormat() fails if format string contains timezone
Description: ------------ I was trying to process Apache logfiles with PHP. The default LogFormat timestamp %t translates to '[d/M/Y:H:i:s O]' in date() notation. PHP fails to create DateTime instances if the format argument contains timezone placeholders like O P e I am aware of the 3rd parameter of DateTime::createFromFormat() to pass timezone information. - the documentation says 'Format accepted by date()' - DateTime is supposed to help parsing datetime formats, not to restrict Test script: --------------- $dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('[d/M/Y:H:i:s O]', '[13/Mar/1969:23:40:00 +0100]'); print($dt->format('c')); Expected result: ---------------- 1969-03-13T23:40:00+01:00 Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51393&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51393&r=mysqlcfg
