This example: https://onlinephp.io/c/3af93
<?php
new DateTime("@0.1");
throws an error in PHP 7 but in PHP 8 it will successfully parse the timestamp.
I am trying to understand why this behaves differently from the previous PHP version. After looking through the PHP 7 vs 8 changelog, I could not find any direct reference to this behavior.
Is this an undocumented change or is this related to anything different?
From my point of view, Documentation is same for PHP 7.* and PHP 8.*, Difference seems to be in echoing out Fatal error (Or Notices Or Warnings). They also need to echo out for PHP 8 as well.
If you refer to the documentation for DateTime::__construct(),
Note: The $timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the $datetime parameter either is a UNIX timestamp (e.g. @946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).
