Answer / jitendra jhariya and sandeep s
function dateDiff($dformat, $endDate, $beginDate)
{
$date_parts1=explode($dformat, $beginDate);
$date_parts2=explode($dformat, $endDate);
$start_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts1[0], $date_parts1[1],
$date_parts1[2]);
$end_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts2[0], $date_parts2[1],
$date_parts2[2]);
return $end_date - $start_date;
}Now let us see how we use this function:$date1="07/11/2003";
$date2="09/04/2004";print "If we minus " . $date1 . " from "
. $date2 . " we get " . dateDiff("/", $date2, $date1) .
".";which generates If we minus 07/11/2003 from 09/04/2004
we get 421.

Answer / vinay sachan
<?PHP
// different between two dates by date_diff() function:-
$datetime1 = date_create('2010-01-01');
$datetime2 = date_create('2012-1-15');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%a days')."<br>";
//+744 days
echo $interval->format('%y-%m-%d days')."<br>";
//2-0-14 days
// different between two dates by strtotime() function:-
$now = time(); // or your date as well
$your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01");
$datediff = $now - $your_date;
echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)) ."<br>";
//744
?>
