Rule date_time_create_from_format_call¶
The first argument of DateTime::createFromFormat method must start with
!.
Description¶
- Consider this code:
DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', '2022-02-11'). What value will be returned? ‘2022-02-11 00:00:00.0’? No, actual return value has ‘H:i:s’ section like ‘2022-02-11 16:55:37.0’. Change ‘Y-m-d’ to ‘!Y-m-d’, return value will be ‘2022-02-11 00:00:00.0’. So, adding!to format string will make return value more intuitive.
Warning¶
Using this rule is risky¶
Risky when depending on the actual timings being used even when not explicit set in format.
