Hi, I'm confused, this should give me the age as 17 instead of 16...but it does not...any ideas why? <?php print date("Y:m:d"); $age="1988-07-06"; $day1=strtotime($age); $day2 = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")); $dif_s = ($day2-$day1); $dif_d = ($dif_s/60/60/24); $age = floor(($dif_d/365.24)); echo $age; ?> Thanks, Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
If I change $day2 to =time(); instead of strtotime() I get 17. Could be some weirdness going on with using date()?.
Actually it's in the math... With the numbers you have here $dif_d would need to be 6209.24/25 to get up to 17, so the fault lies in the 365.24/25 assumption for a day. Don't ask me how to get around it... it makes my head hurt. :D Edward Vermillion evermillion@doggydoo.net
