"failed to parse time string" error

[Tim Hutchinson]

Hi,

One of our users has been getting an internal server error when
attempting to add or edit descriptive records. So far I've been unable
to replicate the problem, but here's a sample entry from the error log:

[Wed May 02 09:49:26 2012] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx]
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string ([1900]) at
position 0 ([): Unexpected character, referer: http://...-fonds;edit/rad

Any clues about what we should be looking for? Is it possible something
at the client end is affecting this?

Thanks
Tim

I still can't replicate this at my end, but the error seems to be
triggered when the user enters a date like [192?-] and then saves the
record.

Very odd.

Hi Tim,

The DateTime constructor throws a code exception in some cases when the string can't be parsed, but our code is aware of that and it shouldn't become a fatal error. Was the user entering dates in the "Dates of creation area" dialog?

Regards,

Hi Jesús,

Thanks. I just clued into what the user was doing. I can replicate the 500 error by entering the uncertain dates, e.g. [192-?], as the start or end dates, which of course should be free of punctuation.

However, I can't replicate this on the demo site. We're using 1.1, so maybe it got addressed in 1.2?

In any case we'll be able to deal with this by showing the user how to enter these dates correctly.

Hi Tim,

Right, we fixed that in 1.2. This is the revision code:

http://code.google.com/p/qubit-toolkit/source/detail?r=9748

Patching could be possible though. Just apply these changes:

http://code.google.com/p/qubit-toolkit/source/diff?spec=svn9748&r=9748&format=side&path=/trunk/lib/propel/builder/QubitObjectBuilder.php

Then run:

$ php symfony propel:build-model

$ php symfony cc

$ php symfony cc

Great, thanks for letting me know.
