Subject: DateTime::modify('now') is ignored, why?
From: ivan.enderlin@hoa-project.net ("Ivan Enderlin @ Hoa")

Hi internals,

I would to modify a \DateTime object to the current time, thus I wrote th=
is:

$d =3D new \DateTime('+1 hour');
$d->modify('now');

It did not work. Why? Because the documentation=20
(http://php.net/datetime.formats.relative) says: =93Now - this is simply =

ignored=94. Really? But the behavior is pretty straightforward isn't?=20
=93modify to now=94 means =93set to the current date and time and let the=
=20
timezone unchanged=94.

Thoughts?
Best regards.
