ID: 61955 Comment by: whistl0r+php at googlemail 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: This bug seems to be still present in PHP 5.3.19. My test script: <?php // The local system is set to Europe/Berlin timezone, so set it for PHP, too: date_default_timezone_set( 'Europe/Berlin'); echo 'Current date: ' . date('c') . PHP_EOL; // Now, we are switching to UTC... date_default_timezone_set( 'UTC'); $timezone = new DateTimeZone( 'UTC' ); $datetime = new DateTime( null, $timezone ); $datetime->setTime( 00, 00, 00 ); $datetime->add( new DateInterval( 'P1D' ) ); // Output echo 'mktime(): ' . ( mktime( 23, 59, 59 ) + 1 ) . PHP_EOL; echo 'gmmktime(): ' . ( gmmktime( 23, 59, 59 ) + 1 ) . PHP_EOL; echo 'datetime(): ' . $datetime->getTimestamp() . PHP_EOL; echo 'time(): ' . time() . PHP_EOL; echo 'microtime(): ' . microtime( true ) . PHP_EOL; echo 'Used TZ: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . PHP_EOL; ?> I run this test script at 2012-11-24T00:00:00+01:00. This is my output: Current date: 2012-11-24T00:00:00+01:00 mktime(): 1353715200 gmmktime(): 1353715200 datetime(): 1353715200 time(): 1353711600 microtime(): 1353711600.7557 Used TZ: UTC I am expecting that at least the DateTime value should be equal to time(), because both functions should represent a UNIX timestamp (which is per definition UTC). But I am also not sure if the gmmktime() *and* mktime() should be equal... and I don't understand the 3600 offset at all - remember, we set UTC timezone before... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-11 19:13:10] chris dot baker dot gr at gmail dot com 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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
