Bug: CarbonImmutable::createFromTimeString('first day of this year 00:00:00') returning February 1st instead of January 1st

[niravpateljoin]

Hello,

I encountered an issue with the following code:

echo CarbonImmutable::createFromTimeString('first day of this year 00:00:00');

Carbon version: 3.0.2

PHP version: ** 8.2.15**

I expected to get:

2024-01-01 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00)

But I actually get:

2024-02-01 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00)

Thanks!

Hello,

This is not on our side, the same happens with pure PHP:

echo (new DateTimeImmutable('first day of this year 00:00:00'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s e');

I don't know if this syntax is supported.

This should be reported on https://github.com/php/php-src instead.

However, it's possible to achieve it using:

echo CarbonImmutable::now()->startOfYear();
