The patch only addresses the original problem reported in this bug report i.e. in DateInterval's constructor. The DateTime::diff() issue belongs in a separate bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-22 22:40:18] johnphayes at gmail dot com It probably should have a different bug for the Windows "6015" bug. Just noting that this is what I'm seeing as well, not the original bug description. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-26 17:51:02] hellbringer at gmail dot com $d1 = new DateTime('2010-01-01'); $d2 = new DateTime('2010-01-26'); $diff = $d1->diff($d2); echo phpversion(); // 5.3.1 echo $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']; // Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.3.1 echo $diff->format('%a'); // 6015 echo $diff->days; // 6015 print_r($diff); // DateInterval Object // ( // [y] => 0 // [m] => 0 // [d] => 25 // [h] => 0 // [i] => 0 // [s] => 0 // [invert] => 0 // [days] => 6015 // ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-17 19:23:01] awinningidea at gmail dot com PHP 5.3 on windows, DateInterval::format('%a') gives 6015 for all dates. Example =============================== $d1 = new DateTime('1/1/2009'); $d2 = new DateTime('1/5/2009'); $diff = $d1->diff($d2); var_dump($diff->format('%a')); Output ------------------------------- string '6015' (length=4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-05 18:49:57] derick@php.net It's a bug, it should set this value really. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
