note 118382 added to datetime.diff

Be careful using: $date1 = new DateTime('now'); $date2 = new DateTime('tomorrow'); $interval = date_diff($date1, $date2); echo $interval->format('In %a days'); In some situations, this won't say "in 1 days", but "in 0 days". I think this is because "now" is the current time, while "tomorrow" is the current day +1 but at a default time, lets say: Now: 08:00pm, 01.01.2015 Tomorrow: 00:00am, 02.01.2015 In this case, the difference is not 24 hour, so it will says 0 days. Better use "today", which should also use a default value like: Today: 00:00am, 01.01.2015 Tomorrow: 00:00am, 02.01.2015 which now is 24 hour and represents 1 day. This may sound logical and many will say "of course, this is right", but if you use it in a naiv way (like I did without thinking), you can come to this moment and facepalm yourself. Conclusion: "Now" is "Today", but in a different clock time, but still the same day! ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 213.95.133.22 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118382 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118382 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118382 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
