note 106447 added to datetime.diff

I needed to get the exact number of days between 2 dates and was relying on the this diff function, but found that I was getting a peculiar result with: <?php $today = new DateTime(date('2011-11-09')); $appt = new DateTime(date('2011-12-09')); $days_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)->d; ?> This was returning 0 because it was exactly one month. I had to end up using : <?php $days_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)->days; ?> to get 30. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.239.145.221 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106447 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106447 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106447 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
