Re^4: Problem with DateTime subtract_datetime by flexvault (Monsignor) on Feb 19, 2015 at 22:46 UTC
ikegami, I have read and re-read your comments several times, and I just don't understand how losing a month ( 28,29,30,31 days ) is not a problem. There is a finite number of days and weeks between the two dates. So, forget about the month(s), why are the weeks and days incorrect?

There is a finite number of days and weeks between the two dates. You didn't ask to the number of days and/or weeks between two dates. As I already mentioned, that would be `$endDate->delta_days($dt1)`. So, forget about the month(s), why are the weeks and days incorrect? huh? They aren't. There is 1 month, 10 days, 17 hours and 1 minute between 2015-03-19 17:01 and 2015-02-30 00:00, and the output said 10 days.	[reply] [d/l]

IIRC in_units is weak sauce, use DateTime::Format::Human::Duration its the best, see Re: timestamp manipulation and evaluation, Re^4: problems parsing Time/Date strings, Re^3: How to find the number of days with DateTime ?, DateTime::Duration not adding seconds appropriately, Inconsistent results of subtraction with DateTime?, Re: DateTime usage for duration computation, Re: Approximate time	[reply]
