Deprecated function warning: Implicit conversion from float-string to int loses precision in DateTimePlus->__call()

Created on 26 August 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When using the relative_date_facets module, users are encountering PHP deprecation warnings in their logs. The warning message indicates that a float-string value is being implicitly converted to an integer, which causes precision loss.

Steps to reproduce

Install and enable the relative_date_facets module
Configure facets with relative date functionality
Browse pages that utilize these facets
Check the error logs

Proposed resolution

The issue appears to be related to how timestamp values are being passed to the DateTimePlus class. The float-string "1756128322.143" should be properly cast to an integer before being passed to methods that expect integer timestamps, or the precision should be handled appropriately if microseconds are needed.

Here's a patch that fixes the deprecated function warning.

What this patch does:
- Properly casts float-string timestamp values to integers before passing to DateTimePlus methods
- Maintains existing functionality while eliminating the precision loss warning

Testing:
- Applied patch to a site experiencing the issue
- Confirmed the deprecation warnings no longer appear in logs
- Verified facet functionality still works as expected
