Req #49914 [Com]: DateInterval doesn't implement comparison functions

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49914&edit=1 ID: 49914 Comment by: photon0 at gmail dot com Reported by: aharvey@php.net Summary: DateInterval doesn't implement comparison functions Status: No Feedback Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Date/time related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2009-10-18 (SVN) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @heiglandreas I would argue that the simplest way to compare these objects (since there is no real accurate way to do so) is to compare two DateTime starting at Unix epoch and each offset by ->add(DateInterval). I don't think this request is sugar coating.

Or is it P30D even though I'm currently in August? What about PT24H30M and P1D? Under certain circumstances a Day can have more or less that 24 hours (DST-transition) Even though those might be edge-cases exactly those edge-cases need to be handled or they will show up here in the bug-tracker. So I'd really like to get some feedback on how you think those edge-cases should be handled. Otehrwise there are some userland libraries that handle most aspects of Interval-COmparison but not those edge-cases… (f.e but not limited to https://packagist.org/packages/org_heigl/dateintervalcomparator) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-03 14:28:09] will dot tinsdeall at mercianlabels dot com Any closer to applying a fix on this? It's a real shame it didn't make it into 7.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-24 15:44:46] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #68187 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
