Re: 2 dates, difference in days AARGH!!

I have made those changes, thank you (I even read the integers required thing but for some reason didn't register it). Here is what I have now. Working with Dec 25, 2002 (a difference that should be 14 days). <?$maturity_date = mktime (0,0,0,$mday_row[3],$mday_row[2],$mday_row[5]);?> <?$today = getdate();?> <?$now_date = mktime (0,0,0,$today['mon'],$today['mday'],$today['year']);?> <?$difference_date = ($maturity_date - $now_date);?> <?$difference_days = ($difference_date / 86400);?> difference in days: <?print $difference_days;?> AND IT WORKS!!!! Thank you Chris you have saved, my hairline, my marriage, and my sanity! Chris Wesley wrote:

Oh, and $today['wday'] ... that's the day of the week. I'm almost positive you want the day of the month: $today['mday']. hth,

$today['month'] is text, ie. "December", and mktime() requires all integer arguments. If you use $today['mon'] instead, it seems like you'll get what you want.
