 New Comment:

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Log: Make DateTime::__construct()'s changelog clearer on the point that exceptions
are thrown if the date format is invalid, rather than the date itself.

Fixes doc bug #64908 (DateTime's constructor accepts time that not exists
because of DST).

Reopening.

That's wrong, it should say "invalid date *format*". Marking this as a doc issue.

Yep. Manual at http://hu1.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php says:
"If an invalid date is specified, then an exception is now thrown. Previously an 
error was emitted."

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

PHP's date time handling auto-corrects wrong date/time values. This is similar to doing:

<?php
$n = new DateTime("2013-04-31");
var_dump( $n );
?>

class DateTime#1 (3) {
  public $date =>
  string(19) "2013-05-01 00:00:00"
  public $timezone_type =>
  int(3)
  public $timezone =>
  string(13) "Europe/London"
}
