[SOLVED] HOWTO subtract dates and display result in days

[andz]

Is there any way to display dates in results after subtracting them?

 

echo strtotime($values['bookStart']);

echo '<br /><br />';

echo strtotime($values['bookEnd']);

echo '<br /><br />';

 

$res = strtotime($values['bookEnd']) - strtotime($values['bookStart']);

 

 

date format YYYY-MM-DD

 

$bookStart = '2009-01-02';

$bookEnd = '2009-01-10';

 

the result should return 8 days

If these are in a mysql database, just use the mysql datediff() function in your SELECT query - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_datediff

[ratcateme]

echo "time taken: " . round($res/(24*60*60));

should do it
