note 113203 added to function.date-diff

A modified version of date_diff for lower (or any) php versions. This can also be used in classes, by prefixing "public static". $returnValue can be as per date() params, i.e. d, m, Y, h, i, s, etc. This will also return negative int values, e.g. -5. <?php function dateDifference($date1, $date2 = '', $returnValue = 'd') { $date1Timestamp = strtotime($date1); if ($date2 == '') //if no date2 is passed, consider this time $date2Timestamp = time(); else $date2Timestamp = strtotime($date2); if ($date1Timestamp === false || $date1Timestamp < 0 || $date2Timestamp === false || $date2Timestamp < 0) return false; return date($returnValue, $date2Timestamp) - date($returnValue, $date1Timestamp) ; } ?> ---- Server IP: 103.21.58.218 Probable Submitter: 182.19.66.187 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113203 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113203 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113203 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
