Note Submitter: john-mackay at live dot co dot uk ---- I found this simple method works best... // The Start and End Dates $FirstDate = "01-01-2012" // Use "NOW" for today $SecondDate = "01-01-2012" // Use "NOW" for today // The Code to get the true age in days... // Replace "NOW" with the date if stated... if ($FirstDate=="NOW") { $FirstDate=date('d-m-Y') } if ($SecondDate=="NOW") { $SecondDate=date('d-m-Y') } //Get the Time between the two dates provided... $ta = strtotime(FirstDate)/60/60/24; $tb = strtotime(SecondDate)/60/60/24; //Calculate the Difference between the two times... $age = $ta-$tb; //output to screen echo $age." Day"; //adds a s to day to make days if output is 2 or more if($age>=2){ echo "s"; } //adds a s to day to make days if output is -2 or less if($age<=-2){ echo "s"; } //$age is the number of days between the FirstDate and SecondDate Example 1... $FirstDate = "01-01-2012" $SecondDate = "03-01-2012" Output = 2 Days Example 2... $FirstDate = "03-01-2012" $SecondDate = "01-01-2012" Output = -2 Days *** I hope this helps people that like me needed a negative output as well as positive ***
