note 35195 added to ref.datetime

ANOTHER AGE CALCULATOR I use the following. It's simple, low-overhead and accurate to within a day. function ageFromDOB($dob) { $now = getdate(); $db = getdate($dob); return ($now['year'] - $db['year'] - ((($now['mon'] < $db['mon']) || (($now['mon'] == $db['mon']) && ($now['mday'] < $db['mday']))) ? 1 : 0)); } $dob should be a Unix timestamp (use strtotime(), or if you are getting data from a MySQL database use "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(dobField) ...". Of course, you can modify the function if this doesn't suit you. Resist the temptation to replace the two-tiered month/day comparison with a single comparison of ['yday']! This can lead to innaccuracies within a day if the person was either born in a leap year or it is currently a leap year. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35195 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35195&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35195&report=yes
