Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-11 16:26:41] diana dot woodhouse at unc dot edu does anyone have a workaround for the datetime difference functionality? Simple subraction and addition of strototime values don't work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-22 09:15:35] bfrance@php.net 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42372&edit=1
