ID: 61955 Comment by: chris dot baker dot gr at gmail dot com Reported by: php at arjanonline dot net Summary: Adding DateInterval to DateTime adds 1 additional hour Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Linux / Mac PHP Version: 5.3.12 Assigned To: derick Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: To amend my earlier comment: my repro attempts show that if I create an instance of DateTime by passing a string to the constructor, everything works fine. If I use a timestamp in combination with DateTime::createFromFormat, I see the bug affect the results Use of a string ------------------------- $start = new DateTime('09/13/2012 7:00pm'); $end = new DateTime('09/13/2012 8:00pm'); $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('30 minutes'); // expected, 1 hours, 0 minutes, get 1 hours, 0 minutes $diff = $start->diff($end); print 'Diff: '.$diff->h.' hours, '.$diff->i.' minutes'."\n"; $end->add($interval); $diff = $start->diff($end); // ecpected: 1 hours, 30 minutes, get 1 hours, 30 minutes print "\n".'Diff after interval: '.$diff->h.' hours, '.$diff->i.' minutes'; Use of a timestamp ------------------------- $start = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', 1347577200); $end = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', 1347580800); $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('30 minutes'); // expected, 1 hours, 0 minutes, get 1 hours, 0 minutes $diff = $start->diff($end); print 'Diff: '.$diff->h.' hours, '.$diff->i.' minutes'."\n"; $end->add($interval); $diff = $start->diff($end); // ecpected: 1 hours, 30 minutes, get 2 hours, 30 minutes print "\n".'Diff after interval: '.$diff->h.' hours, '.$diff->i.' minutes'; http://3v4l.org/fivbW The extra one hour makes less sense considering that my server timezone is -5 UTC -- not that it makes sense for DateInterval to be sensitive to timezone! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-11 14:58:51] chris dot baker dot gr at gmail dot com Can reproduce this as well, just determined it to be the cause of new errors in a scheduling web app after updating to 5.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-09 19:47:08] jgardynik at endlessrealities dot com I'm getting the same thing. Any single date_modify() call is causing an extra hour to be added. If I add 1 minute, it still adds an extra hour. The commit that was bisected is very clearly adding an extra hour. If I use Pacific/Honolulu or UTC in date_default_timezone_set() it works fine. Apparently the fix was not specific enough in its implementation and it's taking effect all the time. This is causing every single one of my monthly comparison reports to break in a rather large system because the time is getting thrown off. I'm using PHP 5.4.4 on linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-19 15:03:40] graham at grahamc dot com One minor clarification - This is occurring in every version above 5.3.8. After running git bisect, I've narrowed it down to this particular commit: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/7411ae09f5565b3f0dfbbfeb71c8f848fd38d6ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-11 15:51:21] zhanglijiu at gmail dot com My result is object(DateTime)#2 (3) { ["date"]=> string(19) "1970-01-01 00:00:05" ["timezone_type"]=> int(1) ["timezone"]=> string(6) "+00:00" } My system is MAC 10.6.8 php 5.3.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-05 20:45:27] php at arjanonline dot net Description: ------------ When I create a DateTime object from a (any) timestamp and then add a DateInterval object to the DateTime object, the time in the DateInterval object is added and one additional hour is also added. I have not noticed this behavior in versions up to and including 5.3.8, only in newer 5.3 versions. (I did not test in 5.4.) Also the behavior is related to the default time zone, even though the created DateTime object is in UTC. I have tested several timezones and it appears that all Europe/* and North American America/* timezones are affected. The Australian timezones seem to be unaffected. Information from phpinfo(): date - date/time support => enabled - "Olson" Timezone Database Version => 2012.3 - Timezone Database => internal Test script: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam'); $d1 = new DateTime('@0'); $d2 = clone($d1); $d2->add(new DateInterval('PT5S')); var_dump($d2); Expected result: ---------------- object(DateTime)[2] public 'date' => string '1970-01-01 00:00:05' (length=19) public 'timezone_type' => int 1 public 'timezone' => string '+00:00' (length=6) Actual result: -------------- object(DateTime)[2] public 'date' => string '1970-01-01 01:00:05' (length=19) public 'timezone_type' => int 1 public 'timezone' => string '+00:00' (length=6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61955&edit=1
