Re: [PHP] Re: Calculate No Of Days
Is there any function avialable in PHP to calculate the no of days by passing 2 dates If you happen to be pulling both dates from MySQL you could use the MySQL date functions: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_calculations.html If that is not possible and you don't/can't use the Pear Date library recommended previously you could do date arithmetic using unix timestamps. So, take the timestamp of 1/1/2005 and subtract the timestamp of 1/2/2004. That will give you the number of seconds between the two dates and from there you can figure out how many days are between the two. - Jamie Hi Is there any function avialable in PHP to calculate the no of days by passing 2 dates like 1 argument is 1/1/2005 and the second one is 1/2/2005 then it returns the no of days or how can i do that if there is no builtin function .

Here's a piece of code that I use on my website. It calculates the
number of days from today to some future date (which happens to be July
16, 2005) It's not exactly what you asked for but it might be helpful to
you. No one will confuse me with being a professional programmer but
this seems to work well on my site.
snippet
$timeuntilcamp = mktime(12,0,0,7,16,2005,-1) - time();
$daysuntilcamp = round($timeuntilcamp/86400);
if ($daysuntilcamp 0)
{
print h4Days until start of 2005 Camp: .$daysuntilcamp./h4\n;
}
