I'm needing to find the number of days between two dates without
using an database functions (DATE_SUB, etc)... only PHP. Is there an
easy way to accomplish this? I have searched the PHP site, but have
not been successful in finding anything that will assist me.
Any help would be appreciated.
There might be an easier way but... convert to timestamp, subtract
smaller number from bigger number, figure out how much time has
passed.
Chris.
I actually discovered how to do this right after I made the post. I
looked at some archives and worked this out.
<code>
// today - 9/23/05
$start = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("Y"));
// the objective day - 3/15/06
$end = mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 15, 2006);
// subtract today from the objective and divide by 24*60*60 to get days
$difference = ceil(($end - $start) / (86400));
</code>
Thanks for your assistance.
