Question

I have the current function:

function getDaysBetween($start, $end) {
    $start = strtotime($start);
    $end = strtotime($end);
    $dateDiff = abs($end- $start);
    $daysBetween = floor($dateDiff/(60*60*24));
    return $daysBetween;
}

The function above does return the days between.

So, for example, August 3 at 3.00 AM minus August 2 at 11PM gives 0.

In this case I would like it to return 1, since these are different days. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

Instead of

$start = strtotime($start);
$end = strtotime($end);

use

$start = strtotime('00:00:00', strtotime($start));
$end = strtotime('00:00:00', strtotime($end));
