For those wanting to calculate the months difference between two dates, this function takes days
into consideration.
echo monthsApart("2002-07-12","2003-01-01");
//output: 6
echo monthsApart("2002-12-31","2003-01-01");
//output: 0
function monthsApart($oldDate,$newDate) {
list($oldYear,$oldMonth,$oldDay) = split("-",$oldDate);
list($newYear,$newMonth,$newDay) = split("-",$newDate);
$diff = (($newDay >= $oldDay ? 0 : -1) + ($newYear - $oldYear)* 12) + $newMonth - $oldMonth;
return abs($diff);
}
