Note that similar behavior/documentation dissonance exists for DateTimeInterval::format() Test script: --------------- <?php $time_start = new DateTime('now'); sleep(60*2+3.1415926535897961646); $time_end = new DateTime('now'); $time_interval=$time_end->diff($time_start); echo $time_interval->format("%H:%i:%s seconds") . PHP_EOL; echo $time_interval->format("%H:%I:%S seconds") . PHP_EOL; // <- not documented for DateTime::format() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74645&edit=1
