RE: [PHP] Date aritmetic

convert both in dates into a time stamp using mktime() subtract the two figures you get back then divide by 86400 (60sec/min * 60min/hr * 24hr/day) -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Fernando Scheidecker Antunes [mailto:nando@antunes.eti.br] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 12:57 PM To: PHP-GENERAL Subject: [PHP] Date aritmetic Importance: High Hello all, I would like to know if anyone could help me with the following issue: I have 6 variables, two holds a day, others the month and the last ones the year. They are entered through drop-down-menus where the user selects day, month and year for each date. I would like to know the difference in days between these two dates. Since the dates are separated and each value day, month and year are stored on separated variables I wonder who to proceed here. I need to know how many days of separate each dates. Thank you in advance, Carlos Fernando Salt Lake City, UT. Linux User #207984
