Re: difference between two dates

You can also try Date_Calc. This also handles dates pre 1970 or post 2038. http://www.phpinsider.com/php/code/Date_Calc/ require("Calc.php"); $cal = new Date_Calc; echo "number of days between Sep 18, 2000 and Oct 10, 2000 are " .$cal->date_diff("2000","09","18","2000","10","10); vnath@mindspring.com wrote: > > Here's a function that should do the trick: > > function date_diff($from, $to) { > list($from_month, $from_day, $from_year) = explode("-", $from); > list($to_month, $to_day, $to_year) = explode("-", $to); > > $from_date = mktime(0,0,0,$from_month,$from_day,$from_year); > $to_date = mktime(0,0,0,$to_month,$to_day,$to_year); > > $days = ($to_date - $from_date)/86400; > > return $days; > } > > Then just pass the dates to the function like: > > <?php $days = date_diff("10-1-2000","10-9-2000"); ?> > > Now $days will hold the number of days between the two dates.
