Summary: Wrong diff between 2 dates in different timezones
Status: Closed
Type: Bug

Hello, sorry derick but here the fix caused an other regression:
Try the following code:
-----------------------
<?php
$d1 = new DateTimeImmutable('2014-07-08 15:20', new
DateTimeZone('America/Toronto'));
$d2 = $d1->modify('1 day');
var_dump($d1->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'))->diff($d2)->days);
var_dump($d1->diff($d2)->days);
-----------------------
days is 1 for both in PHP < 8.1 => correct since $d2 is $d1 + 1 day and there is
no DST there, so I expect to always get 1 with any timezone.
days is 0 since 8.1.0beta3 => very likely a bug.
Did you check my PR?

I assume this is related since it was closed with the large patch from derick.

Description:
------------
In PHP < 8.1, comparing 2 date-times from different timezones would consider the real moment they
represent to return the diff, which is completly relevant. But it's no longer true (sounds like
introduced by 091c0920b9db057a54dc43ece6e864bce6818d5e).
Test script:
---------------
$dtToronto = new DateTime('2012-01-01 00:00:00.000000 America/Toronto');
$dtVancouver = new DateTime('2012-01-01 00:00:00.000000 America/Vancouver');
echo $dtVancouver->diff($dtToronto)->format('%h');
Expected result:
----------------
3
Actual result:
--------------
0
