Something like this, but this is not perfect.. The mktime seem to work only
for Unix/Linux and not work for Windows.

function dateDiff($input_date)
{
//MSG #1 - Parameter1 must be in this date format --> "mm/dd/yyyy"
//MSG #2 - This script does not include fix for the leap year...
$UserInput = explode("/", $input_date);
$UserInputMonth = $UserInput[0];
$UserInputDay = $UserInput[1];
$UserInputYear = $UserInput[2];
$clockDate = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
$inputDate = mktime(0,0,0,$UserInputMonth,$UserInputDay,$UserInputYear);
$Days = (($clockDate - $inputDate) / (24 * 3600));
$Days = round($Days);
return $Days;
}
