Re: [PHP-DEV] New constants in DateTime

FWIW, these constants are not universal. In Postgres (and MySQL since 5.7) the date+time types have optional sub-second precision - which the "Y-m-d H:i:s" pattern will fail to parse. Another common case in Postgres is date+time with timezone, e.g. used for scheduling/calendar applications etc.

[PHP-DEV] New constants in DateTime

Hello internals, A similar question should have been asked already but I haven't found anything so far when googling: I think DateTime class should have the following constants in addition to those already existing: const SQL = "Y-m-d H:i:s"; const SQL_DATE = "Y-m-d"; const SQL_TIME = "H:i:s";
