Description

public static arrayfalse DateTimeImmutable::getLastErrors()

Changelog

Version	Description
8.2.0	Before PHP 8.2.0, this function did not return `false` when there were no warnings or errors. Instead, it would always return the documented array structure.

Examples

Example #1 DateTimeImmutable::getLastErrors example

<?php
try {
    $date = new DateTimeImmutable('asdfasdf');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // For demonstration purposes only...
    print_r(DateTimeImmutable::getLastErrors());

    // The real object-oriented way to do this is
    // echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>

The above examples will output:

Array
(
   [warning_count] => 1
   [warnings] => Array
       (
           [6] => Double timezone specification
       )

   [error_count] => 1
   [errors] => Array
       (
           [0] => The timezone could not be found in the database
       )

)

The indexes 6, and 0 in the example output refer to the character index in the string where the error occurred.
