Is there any function avialable in PHP to calculate
the no of days by passing 2 dates
If you happen to be pulling both dates from MySQL you could use the MySQL date functions:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_calculations.html
If that is not possible and you don't/can't use the Pear Date library recommended previously you could do date arithmetic using unix timestamps. So, take the timestamp of 1/1/2005 and subtract the timestamp of 1/2/2004. That will give you the number of seconds between the two dates and from there you can figure out how many days are between the two.

Hi
Is there any function avialable in PHP to calculate
the no of days by passing 2 dates like 1 argument is
1/1/2005 and the second one is 1/2/2005 then it
returns the no of days or how can i do that if there
is no builtin function .

Maybe you can try the pear Date package - it has some handy function
that does exactly what you're asking for:
