Description
The following code:
<?php
$ref = new DateTime('2024-01-01 00:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$t1 = new DateTime('2024-03-31 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$t2 = new DateTime('2024-04-01 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$t3 = new DateTime('2024-10-27 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
$t4 = new DateTime('2024-10-28 12:00:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
// DST start
$diff1 = $ref->diff($t1);
$diff2 = $ref->diff($t2);
// DST end
$diff3 = $ref->diff($t3);
$diff4 = $ref->diff($t4);
echo('DST start' . PHP_EOL);
var_dump($diff1->h, $diff2->h);
echo('DST end' . PHP_EOL);
var_dump($diff3->h, $diff4->h);
Resulted in this output:
DST start
int(11)
int(12)
DST end
int(12)
int(12)
But I expected this output instead:
DST start
int(12)
int(12)
DST end
int(12)
int(12)
As far as I understand it DateTime::diff() is supposed to count the time based on the local clock of a time zone.
But on the day of a forward time transition when DST starts (2024-03-31), DateTime::diff() only counts 11 hours when the time on the local clock is actually 12 o'clock.
This is also inconsistent with the day of a backwards time transition when DST ends (2024-10-27), where DateTime::diff() still counts 12 hours when actually 13 hours have elapsed.
This issue started with PHP version 8.1. Prior versions work correctly.
