I'm an idiot. Sorry. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 05:33:13] rikkext1 at drdanger dot com Just noticed, the seconds get dropped at the beginning of DST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 04:28:25] rikkext1 at drdanger dot com (Sorry, meant to say "difference between MARCH 31 and the first 10 days of April") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 04:23:33] rikkext1 at drdanger dot com Description: ------------ I tripped across this bug calculating the number of days between two dates. It seems like something goes screwy in April and 0.041666667 seconds get dropped. The code below checks the difference in days between May 31 and the first 10 days of April. Reproduce code: --------------- for ($iyear=2000;$iyear<= 2006;$iyear++) { $s_st=$iyear."-03-31"; $st=strtotime($s_st); for ($i=1;$i<=10;$i++) { $addsecs=$st + ($i * 60 * 60 * 24); $end = st + $addsecs; $s_end=Date("Y-m-d",$end); $end = strtotime($s_end); $idiff = ($end - $st) / (60 * 60 * 24); echo("Start: $s_st End: $s_end Diff: $idiff<br>"); } echo("<hr>"); } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to see the number of days between the dates in question Actual result: -------------- Here's the results for just for 2006 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-01 Diff: 1 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-02 Diff: 2 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-03 Diff: 2.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-04 Diff: 3.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-05 Diff: 4.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-06 Diff: 5.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-07 Diff: 6.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-08 Diff: 7.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-09 Diff: 8.9583333333333 Start: 2006-03-31 End: 2006-04-10 Diff: 9.9583333333333 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36861&edit=1
