Be aware of the nature of this function:
If you set up two dates, like so:
2011-01-01 12:00:00
2011-01-02 12:00:00
and use the code:
<?php
$start_date = DateTime::createFromFormat ('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2011-01-01 12:00:00');
$end_date = DateTime::createFromFormat ('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2011-01-02 12:00:00');
$interval = new DatePeriod ($start_date, new DateInterval ('P1D'), $end_date);
?>
then $interval will contain only 1 date! Even though there is 24 hours between them.
If the end_date is specified at 12:00:01 instead, then you actually get 2 dates from DatePeriod.
Can someone tell if this is a bug, or just natural behaviour?
