Re: DateInterval

Here is something i'd like to point out with DateInterval. $dInt = 'PT4320S'; $d = new DateInterval($dInt); var_dump($d); $dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC); $dt = new DateTime('now',$dz); $dt->add($d); var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM)); It appears that running this code fails when it seems like it should work. $dInt = 'PT43200S'; $d = new DateInterval($dInt); var_dump($d); $dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC); $dt = new DateTime('now',$dz); $dt->add($d); var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM)); Please note the first value in $dInt should be 72 minutes, while the later should be 720 minutes or half of a day The PT12H interval seems to work fine. $dInt = 'PT12H'; $d = new DateInterval($dInt); var_dump($d); $dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC); $dt = new DateTime('now',$dz); $dt->add($d); var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM)); Raymond, have you tried using DateTime::modify? It appears to work like strtotime. also DateTime::format works like date. At least as far as I can tell. Mike Raymond Irving wrote:

Sounds great Mike. I personally would also like to see standard date/time functions (strtotime, strftime, date, etc) support dates greater than 2038. I think this can be done internally by parsing the datetime value swith the DateInterval object and retuning the results to the standard functions.

    Hello,

    I would like to know how to correctly use DateInterval::format().     The documentation is unclear.

    Also, I am willing to write some documentation for the
    DateInterval and DatePeriod if no one has taken the task.

    Thanks for the help.

    Mike
