That's the one where conversion int <> string for serialization was developed. It came into 5.5 with this patches (the originally proposed patch is still attached to that ticket) http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=0ee71557ffd285552659b6aa37ea236e3bad493f

["days"]=> - int(3) + string(1) "3" and - 'days' => 0, + 'days' => '0', I see this in all test cases - this is a BC break.

I don't think this is a BC break, or at least it's a very minor. As I understand it, when you read the property directly you still get an int: $iv = "2008-05-11T15:30:00Z/2007-03-01T13:00:00Z"; $di = new DateInterval($iv); var_dump($di->days); //int(437) So this applies only to var_dump() output, serialization output and something exotic as an array cast (which anyway has its own peculiarities wrt the key type conversion -- or the absence of it). -- Gustavo Lopes
