Question

I’m looking for a way to count the months that has passed, since a specific date till today. For example, from januari till today (june) would be ‘5’

Keep it mind, it should work if its a year later, so the year has to be included.

Answer 1

Use date_diff()

$df = date_diff(date_create('01/08/2012'),date_create('05/08/2012')); 

echo $df->format("Month: %M");
