note 102271 added to dateinterval.format

Quick class to allow you to input a time in any unit, and have it recalculate in to different denominations (for example, seconds to hours, minutes and seconds): <?php class DateIntervalEnhanced extends DateInterval { /* Keep in mind that a year is seen in this class as 365 days, and a month is seen as 30 days.
