However there is one issue that needs to be resolved - interval normalization (timelib_do_rel_normalize). The problem is that currently there is no way how to get a base timelib_time from the interval. It means that it's not possible to find out how many days use for normalization. For example if interval1 is 20 days and interval2 is 21 days, then the resulted normalized interval will be 1 month and ?? days... :) There are few solution that come to my mind: 1. no normalization (currently implemented) - this is the easiest solution but the result from the example will be 0 months and 41 days can give interval that has over 31 days... 2. warning if the resulted interval has more than 28 days (February :) ) 3. save base timelib_time with the interval when created and then use it as a base class - it will probably require some sort of copying

But anyways - what happens if the interval is relative and you try to access one of the public properties? They're all designed for static intervals (let's say +5days), right? What, if the user tries to add a relative to a fixed interval? Should I trigger a E_WARNING, because it's no breaking error, but the value can't be calculated?

Basically, you have to do the following steps: 1. in ext/date/lib/interval.c add a function that has two arguments of the timelib_rel_time* type. It should return a *new* timelib_rel_time* structure that has the two intervals added up together. It shouldn't change either of the original timelib_rel_time* arguments. Add the function definition to ext/date/lib/timelib.h too. 2. You can only add two timelib_rel_time* arguments if neither of first_last_day_of, special, have_weekday_relative, and have_special_relative are set. You can'd add a "first day of next month" to a "+5 days" interval - it only works for simple y:m:d h:i:s intervals. 3. In ext/date/php_date.c add: a. a new ARG_INFO struct after the one for arginfo_date_interval_construct, b. Add a new method, "add" after PHP_ME_MAPPING(createFromDateString, date_interval_create_from_date_string,... c. Add a new PHP_FUNCTION(date_interval_add) after the function PHP_FUNCTION(date_interval_format) that takes two DateInterval objects, extract the timelib_rel_time information, call the new function that you've added in step 1, and replace the timelib_rel_time* that is part of the DateInterval object with the returned value. d. Add a forwards declaration to php_date.h after PHP_FUNCTION(date_interval_create_from_date_string); 4. Make sure that the function can be called both as a procedural way (date_interval_add) and an object oriented way (DateInterval->add()). 5. Write test cases and put them in ext/date/tests. That's what I can think off right now. cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?

Re: [PHP-DEV] Adding a time interval to an interval
Hi, Derick Sorry - I that was easy to missunderstand ;) I thought of providing the idea. But I would happily also try to implement it by my own - just to also have contributed to the php-core. If you could give me a hint where to start - I feel quite lost in the code right now ... even so I read the great tutorials about php-internals provided by Anthony Ferrara. And this may take some time! I've just started with C/C++. Do you think this is an easy task to start? Depending on knowledge of php-internals ;) @Anthony, great thanks for the time writing the tutorials.

[PHP-DEV] Adding a time interval to an interval
Hi, all I'd like to extend the API of php by a method. Currently it is possible to create a DateInterval ... but if you have two DateIntervals and want to "combine" them, you need to do it by your own. I think it'd be a good idea to add a method for that to the DateInterval class. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11556731/how-we-can-add-two-date-intervals-in-php Bye, Simon
