DateTimeInterface::diff -- DateTimeImmutable::diff -- DateTime::diff -- date_diff — Returns the difference between two DateTime objects

$baseObject, DateTimeInterface $targetObject, bool $absolute = false): DateIntervalReturns the difference between two DateTimeInterface objects.
datetimeThe date to compare to.
absoluteShould the interval be forced to be positive?
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.

<?php
$origin = new DateTimeImmutable('2009-10-11');
$target = new DateTimeImmutable('2009-10-13');
$interval = $origin->diff($target);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:
+2 days
Yordamsal kullanım
<?php
$origin = date_create('2009-10-11');
$target = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($origin, $target);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:
+2 days
Örnek 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";Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:
24:30:00 (Full days: 0)
Örnek 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";Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:
Full days: 364
Örnek 4 DateTime object comparison
Bilginize:
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);Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:
bool(false) bool(true) bool(false)
