Description:
------------
If using the DatePeriod->interval the DateInterval object has not been correctly initialized by its constructor.

With this bug it is impossible to take a DatePeriod object as one argument in a function :(

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$start    = new DateTime('2015-09-01');
$end      = new DateTime('2015-09-02');
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$period   = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end); 

foreach ($period as $current) {
    $currentEnd = clone $current;
    $currentEnd->add($period->interval);
    var_dump($current, $currentEnd);
}

Expected result:
----------------
object(DateTime)#6 (3) {
    ["date"]=> string(26) "2015-09-01 00:00:00.000000"
    ["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
    ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
object(DateTime)#7 (3) {
    ["date"]=> string(26) "2015-09-02 00:00:00.000000"
    ["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
    ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}


Actual result:
--------------
Warning: DateTime::add(): The DateInterval object has not been correctly initialized by its constructor in /in/tmZN9 on line 10
object(DateTime)#6 (3) {
    ["date"]=> string(26) "2015-09-01 00:00:00.000000"
    ["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
    ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
object(DateTime)#7 (3) {
    ["date"]=> string(26) "2015-09-01 00:00:00.000000"
    ["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
    ["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}

Don't use undocumented properties of built-in objects; use the
public API instead, in this case DatePeriod::getDateInterval().
Works as expected: <https://3v4l.org/iD6hn>.

I' totally ok with that using the public getter methods.
But as if the public properties are not working as expected it's still a bug.

There are two possibilities in my opinion:
1. fix the public properties
2. or make them private

Okay, re-opening. I'm still not convinced that there is a bug, but
I'm leaving that for others to decide. :)

Closing as duplicate of bug #74639 (fixed as of PHP 7.1.7).
