Example #1 DateTime::diff() example

面向对象风格

<?php
$datetime1 
= new DateTime('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = new DateTime('2009-10-13');
$interval $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
echo 
$interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

过程化风格

<?php
$datetime1 
date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval date_diff($datetime1$datetime2);
echo 
$interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

以上例程会输出:

+2 days

Example #2 DateTime object comparison

Note:

As of PHP 5.2.2, 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);
?>

以上例程会输出:

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