Just to nitpick... :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year
The Gregorian calendar adds an extra day to February, making it 29
days long, in years where the quotient has no remainder when divided
by 4, excluding years where the quotient has no remainder when
divided by 100, but including years where the quotient has no
remainder when divided by 400. So 1996, 2000, and 2400 are leap years
but 1800, 1899, 1900 and 2100 are not.

I always wondered what kind of drugs those guys were on when they came
up with the leap-year system... :P
One interesting side note to the op's problem, since I'm not going to
be able to do anything else till I figure this out now..., if one of
the dates is a leap year the 365.25 works fine, which make me wonder
how the strtotime() function is working... or maybe that's what it's
supposed to do... ;)
But then, even if I do figure this out, it's still going to tell me I'm
only 35... which is a bit off...
As usual Richard's way is probably the best for any "real world" age
deduction. ;)
