This function helps you to calculate exact years and months between two given dates, $doj1 and $doj. It returns example 4.3 means 4 years and 3 month.

$mm)
        {
            $mn=$mm1-$mm;
            if($dd1<$dd)
            {
                $mn=$mn-1;
            }
            $ye=$yy1-$yy;
        }
        else if($mm1<$mm)
        {
            $mn=12-$mm;
            //$mn=$mn;

            if($mm!=1)
            {
                $mn1=$mm1-1;
            }

            $mn+=$mn1;
            if($dd1>$dd)
            {
                $mn+=1;
            }

            $yy=$yy+1;
            $ye=$yy1-$yy;
        }
        else
        {
            $ye=$yy1-$yy;
            $ye=$ye-1;

            $mn=12-1;

            if($dd1>$dd)
            {
                $ye+=1;
                $mn=0;
            }
        }

        $to=$ye." year and ".$mn." months";
        return $ye.".".$mn;

        /*return daysDiff($x[2],$x[0],$x[1]);
         $days=dateDiff("/",$now,$doj)/$year_diff;
        $days_exp=explode(".",$days);
        return $years_exp=$days; //number of years exp*/
