New Comment:
PHP 5.3 on windows, DateInterval::format('%a') gives 6015 for all
dates.
Example
===============================
$d1 = new DateTime('1/1/2009');
$d2 = new DateTime('1/5/2009');
$diff = $d1->diff($d2);
var_dump($diff->format('%a'));
Output
-------------------------------
string '6015' (length=4)

It's a bug, it should set this value really.

Derick, how would you solve this?

Thank you for your bug report.
Days is indeed not set when creating a DateInterval using the
constructor. A complication with this is that it is impossible to
determine the number of days when months or years are specified, since
these vary in length. It is possible to fill in the days field in some
cases and leave it 0 in others. In any case, it should be documented
that the days field is not always available.

DateInterval::format with %a format does work if the DateInterval is
the result of getting the difference between two DateTime objects:
$d1=date_create('2009-11-02');
$d2=date_create('2009-11-09');
$i=$d2->diff($d1);
echo $i->format("%d");//7
echo $i->format("%a");//7

Description:
------------
DateInterval cannot output the total days. It always outputs 0.
Reproduce code:
---------------
---
>From manual page: dateinterval.format#Return Values
---
$i=new DateInterval('P7D');
print_r($i);
echo $i->format("%d");
echo $i->format("%a");
Expected result:
----------------
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 7
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] => 0
)
7
7
Actual result:
--------------
DateInterval Object
(
[y] => 0
[m] => 0
[d] => 7
[h] => 0
[i] => 0
[s] => 0
[invert] => 0
[days] => 0
)
7
0
