Ah. This makes perfect sense. Good idea. Mike Raymond Irving wrote: --- On Wed, 4/29/09, MIke Alaimo wrote: Raymond, have you tried using DateTime::modify?

Re: [PHP] DateInterval
Here is something i'd like to point out with DateInterval.
$dInt = 'PT4320S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
It appears that running this code fails when it seems like it should work.
$dInt = 'PT43200S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
Please note the first value in $dInt should be 72 minutes, while the
later should be 720 minutes or half of a day
The PT12H interval seems to work fine.
$dInt = 'PT12H';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
Raymond, have you tried using DateTime::modify? It appears to work like
strtotime.
also DateTime::format works like date. At least as far as I can tell.

Sounds great Mike.
I personally would also like to see standard date/time functions
(strtotime, strftime, date, etc) support dates greater than 2038. I
think this can be done internally by parsing the datetime value swith
the DateInterval object and retuning the results to the standard
functions.
Best regards,

Hello,
I would like to know how to correctly use DateInterval::format().
The documentation is unclear.
Also, I am willing to write some documentation for the
DateInterval and DatePeriod if no one has taken the task.
Thanks for the help.
Mike
