I have this math equation this list helped me generate a few weeks ago.
The purpose is to calculate how many days have passed between 2 dates.

Right now my output ($difference) is 93.9583333333 days.

I am finding this a little weird.  Does anyone see anything wrong with
the way this is calculated:

$date1 = strtotime($date1); (March 21st 2008)
$date2 = strtotime($date2); (December 18th 2007)

echo $date1 => 1206072000
echo $date2 => 1197954000

#86400 is 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours (in other words 1 days
worth of seconds)

$factor = 86400;

$difference = (($date1 - $date2) / $factor);

Depending on what you want, wrap it in round() ceil() or floor()

Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour.
