Bug description:DateTime::__construct() accepts all single letters except 'j'
as valid timezone
Description:
------------
If just a single letter is passed to the constructor of \DateTime it is
accepted
as a valid timezone string. Except, for some strange reason, the letter
'j'.
Test script:
---------------
$date = new \DateTime('a');
var_dump($date);
Expected result:
----------------
I expect an exception to be raised with the message:-
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message
'DateTime::__construct():
Failed to parse time string (a) at position 0 (a): The timezone could not
be found
in the database'
Actual result:
--------------
Except for when the letter 'j' is passed a DateTime object is created. For
example
the following code:-
$date = new \DateTime('a');
var_dump($date);
Will give the following output:-
object(DateTime)[1]
public 'date' => string '2013-09-29 15:17:19' (length=19)
public 'timezone_type' => int 2
public 'timezone' => string 'A' (length=1)
Where it should raise an exception.
