I have figured this out.
cant c this code working for all senarios

function date_difference($date1, $date2)
{
$str1 = strtotime($date1);
$str2 = strtotime($date2);

$res = $str2 - $str1;

return $res/86400;
}

Perhaps the first FAQ in the FAQ list can help you out?

Or your way is completely valid... assuming all you care about it is the number of days.... and assuming you're passing it $date1 and $date2 in ways you know will work with strtotime.
