More than 12mths using %m

[ScoobyDont]

Hi

 

Is it possible to go above 12mths using %m, so for example 5 years = 60mths

 

I am using this code to change the colour of panels which works ok until I make the due date 1yr 2 mths away it makes the panel go red, I need it to stay green and echo 14 mths

<?php
$expire = $dates->datedue;    
$date = new DateTime($expire);
$now = new DateTime();
?>

<div class="col-md-3">
  <div class="panel 
	<?php 
	if ($now->diff($date)->format("%m") < 3) 
	 {
          echo 'panel-red';	
	 } else if ($now->diff($date)->format("%m") < 6) 
         {
	  echo 'panel-orange';}
	else {
	   echo 'panel-green';
	    }
	?>">
          <div class="dark-overlay">Due Date</div>
		<div class="panel-body">
                    <h4 class="duedate"><?php echo $now->diff($date)->format("%m Months");?></h4>
                  </div>
		</div>
	<?php 
	  if ($now->diff($date)->format("%m") < 3) 
	   {
	   echo '<div class="text-center"><button class="btn btn-success"> Book Now</button></div>';	
	   }
         ?> 
</div>

So the question is

 

Is it possible to have more than 12mths?

Its ok I have solved it

[requinix]

%y * 12 + %m

 

Great that you solved it, but posting the solution you came up with would be even better.
