note 75698 added to function.date

Just a small addition to dmitriy. If the present date is in daylight saving time, and the date in the past is not, the result will not be a whole number by dividing by 86400. It will be something like 48.958333333. This is because the day in which it changes from normal to daylight saving time is one hour longer than normal (90000 secs) and the opposite is true when changing back (the day would be one hour shorter - 82800 secs). If you want a whole number of days use the following instead: <?php $digest_date = "2007-01-01"; $date_diff = round( abs(strtotime(date('y-m-d'))-strtotime($digest_date)) / 86400, 0 ); ?> ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 80.189.14.251 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75698 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75698 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75698 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
