Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Indeed, they need to be prefixed with %.

According to the documentation for DateInterval::format
(http://us.php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.format.php), the format
specifiers need to be prefixed with a %.

var_dump($diff->format('%H:%i:%s'));
var_dump($diff->format('%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s'));

produces the expected result.

Description:
------------
DateInterval::format method just returns the parameter given.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$date1 = new DateTime('2009-06-19 20:00:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2009-06-19 20:00:40');

$diff = $date1->diff($date2,TRUE);

print_r($diff);

var_dump($diff->format('H:i:s'));
var_dump($diff->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'));

?>


Expected result:
----------------
DateInterval Object
(
    [y] => 0
    [m] => 0
    [d] => 0
    [h] => 0
    [i] => 0
    [s] => 40
    [invert] => 0
    [days] => 0
)
string(5) "00:00:40"
string(11) "0000-00-00 00:00:40"



Actual result:
--------------
DateInterval Object
(
    [y] => 0
    [m] => 0
    [d] => 0
    [h] => 0
    [i] => 0
    [s] => 40
    [invert] => 0
    [days] => 0
)
string(5) "H:i:s"
string(11) "Y-m-d H:i:s"
