In particular, as far as I can tell, if you do a foreach on a DatePeriod, the instances of the iterator are DateTime objects. Which is great--it's exactly what I wanted--but it doesn't appear to be documented. Perhaps it's obvious to people who know more about iterators. But for me, I had to figure it out by reading people's posts, and confirm it by reading this Stack Overflow answer: (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3416288/parameterizing-php- code-with-dateperiod-dateinterval-classes) More generally, the DatePeriod page doesn't really explain at all what a DatePeriod is or how to use it. Fortunately, the user-supplied examples help a lot with that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62486&edit=1
