get the date difference

[zyrag]

i tried to find a function from the manual but it seems that there's none. Or, is there?

how do you get the date difference between two dates?

thanks,

This snippet is offered on the above page:

function date_diff($date1, $date2) {
 $s = strtotime($date2)-strtotime($date1);
 $d = intval($s/86400);
 $s -= $d*86400;
 $h = intval($s/3600);
 $s -= $h*3600;
 $m = intval($s/60);
 $s -= $m*60;
 return array("d"=>$d,"h"=>$h,"m"=>$m,"s"=>$s);
}

I have a variant that returns years, months, and days between two dates.
