note 51922 added to function.date

i am having a problem with a date function. can anybody help me with the logic of a problem. the problem is. i am saving a date in database field in format. 2005-03-28 i.e. YYYY-MM-DD so now i have to make a function which calculates the difference of dates. one date is current date of my system. the other date is the one coming from datebase. i want the difference to be in number of days. for example the difference between 2005-03-28 and 2005-03-23 should be 5 days. can anyone help me with the logic of how to make such a function. Thankyou.
