Subject: DateTime->modify('tomorrow') Bug in PHP 5.3 in Debian Squeeze 4.3.5-4

Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:11:00 +0100

Package: php5
Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze15
Tags: squeeze


I have a strange bug with DateTime->modify('tomorrow') in PHP 5.3.
Code to reproduce:

<?php
$d = new DateTime('2013-02-05 06:33:33');
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n";

$d->modify('tomorrow');
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n";
?>

Current output on Windows with PHP 5.3.14:
2013-02-05 06:33:33
2013-02-06 00:00:00

Current output on Linux (Debian) with PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze15:
2013-02-05 06:33:33
2013-02-06 06:33:33

I have asked the PHP internals mailinglist (see http://www.mail-archive.com/internals@lists.php.net/msg64587.html) and got this answer:

> The 5.3.14 result is correct. It was apparently a bug in earlier 5.3

So it seems like the patch has not been integrated into Debian. It would be nice if this could be done.

Best regards

Thank you for the bug report.  This has already been fixed in 5.4 in
Debian.  The newer 5.4 version will be in the next Debian release 7.0
code named Wheezy.  The release schedule for Wheezy is "soon" but
really it is very close to releasing.  All of us are anxious for it to
release.  At that time Stable will become Wheezy and this bug will no
longer exist in a Stable release.

The Stable release policy is that the only updates allowed for it are
those that fix security problems or severe problems.  A change such as
this would be out of scope for a Stable release according to the
stable release policy.  Therefore such a change can't go into
Squeeze.  It can only go into the next Debian Stable release.

Hi Christian,

If you want this to happen and Squeeze to be fixed, then I think you
should try and search upstream fix in their Git.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Christian,

with wheezy almost out of the door (as Bob already explained), there's
certainly no incentive to create non-security bug fix release of php5,
which probably won't even get into next point release of squeeze. I know
this is annoying, but we have only limited resources to maintain php5 in
Debian. Thanks for understanding.

And Thomas, please, don't give people false hopes.

Ondrej

Thanks for your replies.
I have written a workaround for this bug. So it’s okay ;-)

Here’s the workaround for people running into the same problem:

<?php
$d = new DateTime('2013-02-05 06:33:33');
$d->modify('tomorrow');
$d = new DateTime($d->format('Y-m-d 00:00:00')); // <- this line added to set the time to 00:00:00
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')."\n";
?>

Best regards
Christian
