Description:
------------
One can not set the DateInterval::$days property.  It is readable.  All other properties of DateInterval shown in var_dump() are writeable.

While similar to Bug #52738, this involves an actual property of the DateInterval class.


Test script:
---------------
$i = new DateInterval('P1D');
$i->s = 8;
echo "S: $i->s\n";
echo "DAYS: $i->days\n";
$i->days = 6;
echo "DAYS: $i->days\n";


Expected result:
----------------
S: 8
DAYS: -99999
DAYS: 6


Actual result:
--------------
S: 8
DAYS: -99999
PHP Fatal error:  main(): Unknown property (days) in /home/danielc/test.php on line 7

While the recent commit removes the fatal error, the property can not be written to.  Here is the output of the initial test script (above) as of svn revision 307713:

S: 8
DAYS: -99999
DAYS: -99999

Hmm... Actually you're not supposed to be writing to days property, it should be read only. I'll fix it.
 [2011-01-30 13:59 UTC] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com 
Why should days be read only?  All other properties are writable.  Days needs to be writable too.  Writing to various properties is necessary when overloading the date classes (to compensate for bugs, etc).

$days is not writable by design of DateInterval since it's a derived property. So 
not being able to write it is not a bug. If additional functionality is needed, 
please create FR or RFC describing how it should work.
