[MODM-158] Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Type\TimestampType should use MongoDate instead of MongoTimestamp

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 18:00:21 +0000

When using the @Timestamp mapping type for a class Doctrine uses MongoTimestamp and it creates very incorrect times in the DB. According to PHP documentation, you should not use MongoTimestamp for creating timestamps, instead MongoDate should be used.

I've attached a patch that changes it to MongoDate and this works splendid when you assign a timestamp to a @Timestamp value

	/**
	 * @Field(type="timestamp")
	 */
	protected $created_on;

	/**
	 * @Field(type="timestamp")
	 */
	protected $updated_on;

	public function __construct($options = NULL)
	{
		$this->created_on = $this->updated_on = time();
		parent::__construct($options);
	}
