The to_seconds() method has several bugs. For one, as is stated correctly, you cannot use months and
years to calculate a number of seconds. Luckily, the DateInterval instance provides the days
property, holding the absolute number of days. Secondly, that to_seconds() method doesn't add
minutes.
Here's a corrected implementation (as a simple function):
<?php
function diffToSeconds(\DateInterval $diff)
{
$diffSeconds = (int)$diff->days * 86400 + $diff->h * 3600 + $diff->i * 60 +
$diff->s;
if ($diff->invert)
$diffSeconds *= -1;
return $diffSeconds;
}
?>
