How many days until X-Y-Z date? [closed]

Answer 1

Days minutes and seconds format:

// current time
$today = new DateTime(format_date(time(), 'custom', 'd M Y H:i:s'));
// date to which we want to compare (A Drupal field in my case).
$appt  = new DateTime(format_date($yourdate_is_timestamp, 'custom', 'd M Y H:i:s' ));

// Months
$months_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)-> m;
// days
$days_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)-> days;
// hours
$hours_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)-> h;
// minutes
$minutes_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)-> i;
// seconds
$seconds_until_appt = $appt->diff($today)-> s;

echo 'days until: ' . $days_until_appt;
echo 'hours until: ' . $hours_until_appt;
echo 'minutes until: ' . $minutes_until_appt;
echo 'seconds until: ' . $seconds_until_appt;
