Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

The DateInterval::format() method does not recalculate carry over points in time strings nor in date segments. This is expected because it is not possible to overflow values like "32 days" which could be interpreted as anything from "1 month and 4 days" to "1 month and 1 day".

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 DateInterval example

<?php

$interval 
= new DateInterval('P2Y4DT6H8M');
echo 
$interval->format('%d days');

?>

Beispiel #2 DateInterval and carry over points

Beispiel #3 DateInterval and DateTime::diff() with the %a and %d modifiers

<?php

$january 
= new DateTime('2010-01-01');
$february = new DateTime('2010-02-01');
$interval $february->diff($january);

// %a will output the total number of days.
echo $interval->format('%a total days')."\n";

// While %d will only output the number of days not already covered by the
// month.
echo $interval->format('%m month, %d days');

?>
