From: Operating system: Ubuntu 11.10 PHP version: 5.4.2 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Relative format : second/third... not parsed
Description: ------------ As I was testing a script where I need to get the second day of previous month I found out this issue : I can't get this day with that phrase. With larger tests I got the issue for every "ordinal" keyword apart from "first" and "last". Test script: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris'); $firstDay = new DateTime('first day of previous month'); echo $firstDay->format('l').PHP_EOL; $lastDay = new DateTime('last day of previous month'); echo $lastDay->format('l').PHP_EOL; $secondDay = new DateTime('second day of previous month'); echo $secondDay->format('l').PHP_EOL; $thirdDay = new DateTime('third day of previous month'); echo $thirdDay->format('l').PHP_EOL; Expected result: ---------------- Sunday Monday Monday Tuesday Actual result: -------------- Sunday Monday PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (second day of previous month) at position 11 (o): The timezone could not be found in the database' in /home/isen/essai.php:7 Stack trace: #0 /home/isen/essai.php(7): DateTime->__construct('second day of p...') #1 {main} thrown in /home/isen/essai.php on line 7 Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (second day of previous month) at position 11 (o): The timezone could not be found in the database' in /home/isen/essai.php:7 Stack trace: #0 /home/isen/essai.php(7): DateTime->__construct('second day of p...') #1 {main} thrown in /home/isen/essai.php on line 7 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61962&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61962&r=mysqlcfg
