Find amount of days between 2 dates in php

Question

I have 2 dates and want to know how many the amount of days that come between them.

Lets say these two are the dates

2015-11-16 10:01:13

Answer 1

Following my comment, I thought I would post some examples from the PHP.net manual:

OOP style:

diff($datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

Procedural style:

format('%R%a days');
?>

Both examples will output:

+2 days

You can also compare word strings as such (when using OOP style, this is an example from PHP.net):

 $date2);
?>

Producing:

bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)

Using your dates:

OOP

diff($datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

Procedural

format('%R%a days');
?>

Result from both:

-194 days

I sincerely hope this helps :)
