[SOLVED] Calculate Age Based on Date of Birth

[stevesimo]

Hi, I am trying to validate whether or not a date of birth entered in dd/mm/yyyy format is between 16 and 69 years old.  Suppose we have todaysdate = 18/04/2007

 

The minimum allowed date of birth would be 18/04/1991 and the maximum allowed date of birth would be 18/04/1938.  I have looked at using strtotime but this only does dates from 1970 (I think)

 

Can anyone help me with this as I am really stuck and not sure how to compare the dates.

 

Thanks

<?php

list($d, $m, $y) = explode("/", $date);
$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);
$age = floor((now() - $time) / 31557600); //This number is the number of secs in a year
if($age < 69  &&  $age > 16)
echo "Good age!";
else
echo "Bad age!";

?>

 

 

Orio.
