$date1 = date("Y-m-d");
$date2= "2005-5-15";
$nodays = (strtotime()-strtotime())/(60*60*24);

echo "no of days are $nodays ";

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.
