From the manual: see the time functions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php
specifically the gmmktime()
function. Give it a date and it will tell u how many seconds have elapsed
since after the Unix Epoch (1/1/1970 00:00). So gmmktime both the dates in
question and you'll have two values in seconds. Subtract to get the number
of seconds between them. Working out the days etc is just simple maths
after that.
Asking for the number of months to be included is ambiguous, how long is a
month?... :)

Ok.
New as I am to PHP I need to ask this. How does one compare two dates and
return the difference in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds?
