Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.diff#refsect1-datetime.diff-
returnvalues
---

$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');

This is suppose to give me +2 as out put. But I am getting +6015 day.

Not sure it is a bug or some setting problem.
My machine is win7 and timezone is +5:30


Test script:
---------------
$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');

Expected result:
----------------
+2 days

Actual result:
--------------
+6015 days

Works for me on 5.4.5/Debian.

Have you set your timezone? e.g. with 

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");
