note 60555 added to function.date

Here is a PHP function to calculate the number of days since a date in the past. It may not be 100% effective but I think it works good! (I haven't given it but about 6 trys) It uses strtotime() for date input. Good Luck and Regards from Southern Miss, USA <?php print (day_calculator("Nov 28 2005") . " days since PHP 5.1.1 was released to the public"); function day_calculator($then="") { $then = strtotime($then); $now = time(); $thisyear = date("Y", $now); $thatyear = date("Y", $then); $x = 0; if ($thisyear != $thatyear) { for($s=$thatyear;$s<=$thisyear;$s++) { if (date("L", strtotime("Jan 1 $s"))) { $x += 1; } if ($s == $thatyear) { $x += (365 - date("z", $then)); } else if ($s == $thisyear) { $x += date("z", $now); } else { $x += 365; } } } else { $x += (date("z", $now) - date("z", $then)); if (date("L", strtotime("Jan 1 $thisyear"))) { $x += 1; } } return $x; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60555 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60555&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60555&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
