note 58591 added to function.strtotime

This is a modification of websafe<at>partybitchez<dot>org function that calculated the number of complete MONTHS between two dates. I needed one for number of DAYS between two dates(in my case I needed DAYS counting for the time a client submits an order to the due date they enter in my order form. here is the php <? function count_days($start_date, $end_date) { # Returns whole-day-count between two dates # usage # count_days("1978-02-18", "2028-08-12"); # $start_date_unixtimestamp = strtotime($start_date); $start_date_day = date("d", $start_date_unixtimestamp); $end_date_unixtimestamp = strtotime($end_date); $end_date_day = date("d", $end_date_unixtimestamp); $calculated_date_unixtimestamp = $start_date_unixtimestamp; $counter=0; while ($calculated_date_unixtimestamp < $end_date_unixtimestamp) { $counter++; $calculated_date_unixtimestamp = strtotime($start_date . " +{$counter} days"); } # if ( ($counter==1) && ($end_date_day==$start_date_day)) $counter=($counter-1); return $counter; } echo count_days("2005-02-18", "2005-02-20"); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58591 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58591&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58591&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
