Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.diff#See Also
---

The example on this page http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php suggests using '%d' to determine the number of days between 2 dates

It would be clearer if it either used %a, or included %m in the example, if the dates you are comparing are more than a month apart %d is not what it initially appears to be in the documentation.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
