I tried with the below code to find the difference between two dates which is passed through post variable and print, but failed.
$fromdate=$_POST['from_date']; $todate=$_POST['to_date']; $date1 = new DateTime($fromdate); //inclusive $date2 = new DateTime($todate); //exclusive $diff = $date2->diff($date1); echo $diff;
Something like this should work for you:
<?php
$_POST['from_date'] = "2014-10-01";
$_POST['to_date'] = "2014-11-02";
$fromdate = $_POST['from_date'];
$todate = $_POST['to_date'];
$diff = abs(strtotime($fromdate) - strtotime($todate));
$years = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));
$months = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24) / (30*60*60*24));
$days = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24)/ (60*60*24));
printf("%d years, %d months, %d days
", $years, $months, $days);
?>
Output:
0 years, 1 months, 2 days
