DateInterval::__construct

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0)

DateInterval::__construct — Creates new DateInterval object

说明

public DateInterval::__construct() ( string $interval_spec )

Creates new DateInterval object.

参数

interval_spec

Interval specification.

The format starts with the letter P, for "period." Each duration period is represented by an integer value followed by a period designator. If the duration contains time elements, that portion of the specification is preceded by the letter T.

*`interval_spec`* Period Designators
Period Designator	Description
Y	years
M	months
D	days
W	weeks. These get converted into days, so can not be combined with D.
H	hours
M	minutes
S	seconds

Here are some simple examples. Two days is P2D. Two seconds is PT2S. Six years and five minutes is P6YT5M.

Note:
The unit types must be entered from the largest scale unit on the left to the smallest scale unit on the right. So years before months, months before days, days before minutes, etc. Thus one year and four days must be represented as P1Y4D, not P4D1Y.

The specification can also be represented as a date time. A sample of one year and four days would be P0001-00-04T00:00:00. But the values in this format can not exceed a given period's roll-over-point (e.g. 25 hours is invalid).

These formats are based on the » ISO 8601 duration specification.

范例

Example #1 DateInterval example


<?php

$interval = new DateInterval('P2Y4DT6H8M');
var_dump($interval);

?>

以上例程会输出：

object(DateInterval)#1 (8) {
  ["y"]=>
  int(2)
  ["m"]=>
  int(0)
  ["d"]=>
  int(4)
  ["h"]=>
  int(6)
  ["i"]=>
  int(8)
  ["s"]=>
  int(0)
  ["invert"]=>
  int(0)
  ["days"]=>
  bool(false)
}

Alternatively you can use DateInterval::createFromDateString() for negative intervals: <?php $date = new DateTime(); $date->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('-89 days'));

As previously mentioned, to do a negative DateInterval object, you'd code: $date1 = new DateTime(); $eightynine_days_ago = new DateInterval( "P89D" ); $eightynine_days_ago->invert = 1; //Make it negative. $date1->add( $eightynine_days_ago ); and then $date1 is now 89 days in the past.

Note that, while a DateInterval object has an $invert property, you cannot supply a negative directly to the constructor similar to specifying a negative in XSD ("-P1Y"). You will get an exception through if you do this. Instead you need to construct using a positive interval ("P1Y") and the specify the $invert property === 1.

It should be noted that this class will not calculate days/hours/minutes/seconds etc given a value in a single denomination of time. For example: <?php $di = new DateInterval('PT3600S'); echo $di->format('%H:%i:%s'); ?> will yield 0:0:3600 instead of the expected 1:0:0
