Calculating number of years between 2 dates in PHP

Question

I need to get the number of years from 2 dates provided. Here\'s my code:

function daysDifference($endDate, $beginDate)
{
   $date_parts1=explode(\"-\", $beg         


        

Answer 1

On a PHP 5.2 box (yeah really, they still exist) so without DateTime::diff() support I ended up using this:

$dateString='10-05-1975';
$years = round((time()-strtotime($dateString))/(3600*24*365.25))
