note 66698 added to function.date

In my before post I was wrong. The function returns the number of months + 1 between two dates. For example, if we compare "now" with "now", the result is 1 month. The same occurs if dates are "01-01-2005" and "31-12-2006", it will return 24 and no 23 months. The problem resides in the supposition that every month has the same number of seconds, and it's not true. I've reprogrammed the function and now is based on strtotime function, adding one month to the oldest date. Enjoy it ;) <?php /** * Calcula el número de meses entre dos fechas dadas */ function month_diff( $start_date, $end_date ) { // dates can be in any format accepted by the strtotime function // convert to UNIX timestamps $start_date = strtotime( $start_date ); $end_date = strtotime( $end_date ); if ( $start_date < $end_date ) { $date1 = $start_date; $date2 = $end_date; } elseif ( $start_date > $end_date ) { $date1 = $end_date; $date2 = $start_date; } else return 0; // Dates are the same $months = 0; while ( strtotime("+$months month",$date1 ) <= $date2 ){ $months++; } return $months-1; } ?> ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 80.35.133.91 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66698 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66698 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66698 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
