Question

$date1 = "2000-01-01";
$date2 = "2011-03-14";

$diff = abs(strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1));
$years = floor($diff / (365 * 60 * 60 * 24));
$months = ceil(($diff - ($years * 365 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / ((365 * 60 * 60 * 24) / 12));
$months2 = floor(($diff - ($years * 365 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / ((365 * 60 * 60 * 24) / 12));
$days = floor(($diff - $years * 365 * 60 * 60 * 24 - $months2 * 30 * 60 * 60 * 24)/ (60 * 60 * 24));

The answer I get is 11 years , 2 months and 14 days. Shouldn’t it be 11 years, 3 months and 14 days?

I have tried quite a few different ways and I always end up with 2 months instead of 3. Does anyone know why?
