Summary: Empty DateInterval has wrong days
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Date/time related
Operating System: Linux, x86_64
PHP Version: 5.3.6

New Comment:
The docs are wrong in multiple places:
DateInterval::__construct() example shows [days] => 0 instead of blank/false.
DateInterval class page says if days are "unknown" the value is false.
Can these pages be updated to indicate that "days" is only valid when the
object
is created as a diff of two dates?
As far as I can tell, this means the *only* way "days" is valid is with the
date_diff() function or DateTime::diff() method.

"days" is a calculated field expressing how many days are between two compared
dates. It is never set when instantiating a new date interval. The "d"
property contains the number of days specified in the interval format.
Everything is operating as expected.

Description:
------------
A DateInterval created with a period that spans zero days reports $days = FALSE
rather than 0.
A DateInterval created by subtracting two DateTimes reports $days = 0 correctly.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Period of zero days, zero seconds
// $days = FALSE
print_r(new DateInterval('P0Y'));
// Difference of identical timestamps
// $days = 0
print_r(date_diff(new DateTime('@1289997296'), new DateTime('@1289997296')));
Expected result:
----------------
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 0
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] => 0
)
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 0
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] => 0
)
Actual result:
--------------
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 0
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] =>
)
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 0
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] => 0
)
