From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:localtime should default to current time if "NULL" is passed
Description: ------------ It would be nice to make localtime() to use the current time as a default if the passed time argument is NULL. Reason: It makes a lot of extra work if the localtime call is called with an optional timestamp parameter passed from outside Test script: --------------- localtime(is_null($iTime) ? time() : $iTime) should be shorter: localtime($iTime) where time is a timestamp or null for the current time. At the moment NULL is interpreted as 0 which is not what (at least) I expect. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55292&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55292&r=mysqlcfg
