Question

I have the following problem
First here is my code:

$day_difference = 1;
while (strtotime('-' . $day_difference . ' day', time()) >= strtotime('2011-12-12 00:08:00')) {
    #echo $day_difference;
    $day_difference++;
}
$datediff = $day_difference;

This code should output 1 day not 2 days

What is wrong ?

Answer 1

If you’re running PHP 5.3, you should use the native DateTime API.

<?php 
$date = new DateTime('2011...');
$interval = $date->diff(new DateTime);
var_dump($interval);
?>
