1.2.596. Invalid Date Scanning Format¶
The format string used with Datetime::createFromFormat() method (or similar) contains unknown characters.
This won’t raise an error, though the resulting values should be checked.
<?php
// format is valid
$date = datetimeimmutable::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $a);
// When wrong, $date is false
// The errors are in datetimeimmutable::getLastErrors();
// X is not a valid character for
$date = datetimeimmutable::createFromFormat('d/X/Y', $a);
?>
