date_diff(DateTimeInterface $baseObject, DateTimeInterface $targetObject, bool $absolute = false): DateInterval

Returns the difference between two DateTimeInterface objects.

Параметри

datetime

The date to compare to.

absolute

Should the interval be forced to be positive?

Значення, що повертаються

The DateInterval object represents the difference between the two dates.

The absolute parameter only affects the invert property of a DateInterval object.

The return value more specifically represents the clock-time interval to apply to the original object ($this or $originObject) to arrive at the $targetObject. This process is not always reversible.

The method is aware of DST changeovers, and hence can return an interval of 24 hours and 30 minutes, as per one of the examples. If you want to calculate with absolute time, you need to convert both the $this/$baseObject, and $targetObject to UTC first.

Приклад #1 DateTimeImmutable::diff() example

Об'єктно-орієнтований стиль

<?php
$origin
= new DateTimeImmutable('2009-10-11');
$target = new DateTimeImmutable('2009-10-13');
$interval = $origin->diff($target);
echo
$interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

Процедурний стиль

<?php
$origin
= date_create('2009-10-11');
$target = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($origin, $target);
echo
$interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

Приклад #2 DateTimeInterface::diff() during DST changeover

<?php
$originalTime
= new DateTimeImmutable("2021-10-30 09:00:00 Europe/London");
$targetTime = new DateTimeImmutable("2021-10-31 08:30:00 Europe/London");
$interval = $originalTime->diff($targetTime);
echo
$interval->format("%H:%I:%S (Full days: %a)"), "\n";
?>

Поданий вище приклад виведе:

24:30:00 (Full days: 0)

Приклад #3 DateTimeInterface::diff() range

The value that the method returns is the exact amount of time to get from $this to $targetObject. Comparing January 1st to December 31st returns therefore 364, and not 365, days (for non-leap years).

<?php
$originalTime
= new DateTimeImmutable("2023-01-01 UTC");
$targetTime = new DateTimeImmutable("2023-12-31 UTC");
$interval = $originalTime->diff($targetTime);
echo
"Full days: ", $interval->format("%a"), "\n";
?>

Поданий вище приклад виведе:

Full days: 364

Приклад #4 DateTime object comparison

Зауваження:

DateTimeImmutable and DateTime objects can be compared using comparison operators.

<?php
$date1
= new DateTime("now");
$date2 = new DateTime("tomorrow");

var_dump($date1 == $date2);
var_dump($date1 < $date2);
var_dump($date1 > $date2);
?>

Поданий вище приклад виведе:

bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
