Invoice date problem in creating sales invoice

[sevket-yilmaz]

Hi, I am a new user in Akaunting. I created a new account and tried to create a new sales invoice. When I trying to select 12.02.2021 (or another day in February) for the invoice date, I see the date 12.12.2018 in input (when I clicked some empty area).

System information (Akaunting, PHP versions)

Also I see the same problem in this modal.

Same problem here on Akaunting 2.1.9.

Selecting a date in March or April 2021 works ok, but when selecting a date in February or before, the date gets converted to a date in 2018 when clicking outside the date box.

After selecting a date (date is ok):

After clicking outside the date box (date gets changed to something in 2018):

Had the same problem. Resolved it by changing language under settings > standard values to my language from the drop-down menu. I had set the language in the setup manually to de_De expecting standard localization terminology. You should also check the date settings under localization. Let me know if this helps

Aha, thanks @milou12345!

This helped narrow down what triggers the issue: when selecting a date format that includes the name of the month in settings/localisation AND using a language other than English.

This should help find the root cause, perhaps there is a "DateTime::createFromFormat()" somewhere that is not configured to convert from a localized version of the month names?
