Bug #50392 date_create_from_format enforces 6 digits for 'u' format character

Description:
------------
As a result of fixing bug #45554, 'u' format character now requires exactly 6 digits of microsecond part during parsing.

Patch fragment:
...
if ((f = timelib_get_nr((char **) &ptr, 6)) == TIMELIB_UNSET || ptr - tptr != 6) {
...

Is check for exactly 6 digits really necessary, while other format characters are more benevolent about number of digits being parsed?


Reproduce code:
---------------
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Bratislava');
var_dump(date_create_from_format('Y-m-d H:i:s.u', '2009-03-01 18:00:00.0'));

Expected result:
----------------
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
  ["date"]=>
  string(19) "2009-03-01 18:00:00"
  ["timezone_type"]=>
  int(3)
  ["timezone"]=>
  string(17) "Europe/Bratislava"
}


Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

Hi,

I guess it's not really required, I'll have a look (in a bit).

Reopening as this bug was fixed incorrectly. It would treat "0010" as "000010" which is not what it is meant to do. The test case didn't properly test the values either.

Log: - Added a test case for bug #45866
- Fixed tests: oo_002, bug46268
- Fixed bug #50930 (Wrong date by php_date.c patch with ancient gcc/glibc
  versions).
- Make sure faulty strings passed to DateTime::modify() notify the user.
- Revert fix for bug #50392 as it was fixed wrongly without a proper test case.
- Fixed a bug with the 'r' formatting function as the default buffer size that
  was allocated only fit 4 digit years.
