From: bfrance@php.net Operating system: doesn't matter PHP version: 5CVS-2007-08-22 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: [DateTime] Difference function Description: ------------ Would be nice if DateTime had some sort of differences functions. Something that could get around the 2038 issue of this: $diffTime = strtotime($endDateString) - strtotime($startDateString) may be something like this: $endDateString = new DateTime("@$X"); $diffTime = $endDateString->difference("@$Y"); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42372&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42372&r=mysqlcfg
