Req #70381 [Opn]: Support comparing DateInterval objects

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70381&edit=1 ID: 70381 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: accido at ukr dot net Summary: Support comparing DateInterval objects Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Date/time related Operating System: Xubuntu 14 PHP Version: 5.6.13RC1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Ha, that's true. And it makes sense since it's not always possible to determine the number of days in an arbitrary interval. That could be a problem when trying to compare two DateIntervals in a general sense, though: what is P30D <=> P1M? A better approach here would be to compare the start date + interval <=> end date.
