Description: ------------ I want to extend DateTime, but without DateTime::createFromFormat, actually creating instances from my class, i.e. "MyDateTime::createFromFormat" this is rather problematic. Test script: --------------- <?php class MyDateTime extends DateTime { } $d = MyDateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2011-01-01'); echo get_class($d); Expected result: ---------------- MyDateTime Actual result: -------------- DateTime -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60302&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60302&r=mysqlcfg
