note 112267 added to class.dateinterval

I found the comment from p dot scheit to be very helpful, but I had to reverse d2 and d1 in the ->diff() call in order to get an incremental addition to a start time. Also NOTE the occurance of PHP passing objects by reference necessitates the CLONE of the DateTime object I pass to the function otherwise my object gets modified by the function call :: <?php $date_from = new \DateTime('2012-05-05 14:00:00'); $segments = 36; for($x=0;$x<=$segments;$x++){ unset($myDate); $myDate = clone $date_from; echo 'segment '.$x.' '.$this->getInterval($myDate,$x*$myResolution).'<br>'; } //desired output /* segment 0 2012-05-05 14:10 segment 1 2012-05-05 14:20 segment 2 2012-05-05 14:30 segment 3 2012-05-05 14:40 segment 4 2012-05-05 14:50 segment 5 2012-05-05 15:00 segment 6 2012-05-05 15:10 ... */ function getInterval($s,$a){ $d1 = new \DateTime(); $d2 = new \DateTime(); $d2->add(new \DateInterval('PT'.$a.'S')); $iv = $d1->diff($d2); return $s->add($iv)->format('Y-m-d H:i'); } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 184.183.23.101 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/class.dateinterval.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112267 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112267 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112267 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
