Docs for Datetime::construct with invalid value

[aronbeal]

Should probably mention the fact that this throws a fatal error when passed an invalid time string.

e.g.

$value = ",3 13:42:21 -0700";
print_r(new DateTime($value));

Yields:

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Failed to parse time string (,3 13:42:21 -0700) at position 1 (3): Unexpected character in /home/user/scripts/code.php:4
Stack trace:
#0 /home/user/scripts/code.php(4): DateTimeImmutable->__construct(',3 13:42:21 -07...')
#1 {main}
  thrown in /home/user/scripts/code.php on line 4

Edit: Datetimeimmutable docs are correct - these should probably match those in terms of exceptions

[dreeh]

The docs for datetime and datetimeimmutable are the same in case of exception. What's need here?

See:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php
https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetimeimmutable.construct.php

It does say that: https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php#refsect1-datetime.construct-errors — so closing this report.
