I'm actually using PHP 5.3.2. Apologies for not testing against 5.3.6.
DateTime objects created with any of the following strings result in
incorrect years:
'January 0099' -> 1999
'January 1, 0099' -> 1999
'0099-01' -> 1999
However, all of the following work correctly:
'0099' -> 0099
'0099-01-01' -> 0099
'01-01-0099' -> 0099
I imagine this is due to DateTime parsing 0099 into 99 in the bad
examples (and thus triggering the 1900 addition). This bug currently
blocks the following MediaWiki bug:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28655
Test script:
---------------
$tz = new DateTimeZone("Europe/Amsterdam");
$dateObject = new DateTime( 'January 0099', $tz );
echo $dateObject->format( 'Y' );
$dateObject = new DateTime( 'January 1, 0099', $tz );
echo $dateObject->format( 'Y' );
$dateObject = new DateTime( '0099-01', $tz );
echo $dateObject->format( 'Y' );
Expected result:
----------------
0099
0099
0099
Actual result:
--------------
1999
1999
1999
