does anyone have a workaround for the datetime difference

work?

------------
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");
