virtuexru Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 OK. Quick dilemma here. I have two dates. One is when a vehicle is "added" and one when it should be "deleted". So it would look like this: Added date: 2008-10-29 Deleted date: 2008-11-03 So I'm trying to do a psuedo "deleted - added = days left" but it doesn't work like that obviously. Should I strip the "-" and try subtraction? But that won't always be accurate. What do you guys suggest?

virtuexru Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nevermind, figured it out: $added = strtotime($row['_added']); $launch = strtotime($row['_launch']); // show the date it goes off in a readable format $dateoff = date('M d, Y', strtotime($row['_launch'])); $left = ($launch - $added); // rounds it to days instead of seconds $left = round($left / 86400); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130613-subtracting-dates-to-get-days-left/#findComment-677644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
