[SOLVED] PHP dates

[karldesign]

Hi,

 

I am looking for a reliable method of finding month differences between 2 dates.

 

I want the difference between $start_date  and $end_date, but want to print the difference in months, ie: 22 March 2007 - 22 May 2007 = 2 months. 1 April 2007 - 1 March 2007 =  1 Month...

 

I have seen lots of comparison functions but just want a simple script to get me the number.

$months = ($end_date-$start_date)/(60*60*24*7*4)

Thats how to use, when you got it in seconds.

 

I see you want it different:

<?php
$start_date = strtotime('2007-03-22');
$end_date = strtotime('2007-04-22');

$months = ($end_date-$start_date)/(60*60*24*7*4);
?>
