How many days until XXX date?

Currently I am using this code to determine how many days left till an expected day. But this code shows unexpected result. For example if $last_date is 26 December 2012, then I will get 0 day(s) left. But it should be 1 day(s) left. I think my problem is only with floor() function. Isn’t it?

 $timezone = "Asia/Dhaka";
 if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set($timezone);

 $now = time();
 $last_date = strtotime("$year-$month-$day");
 $datediff = $last_date - $now;
 $day_left=floor($datediff/(60*60*24));
 echo "$day_left day(s) left.";

N:B: My timezone is +6 GMT, I mean Asia/Dhaka.

As per the PHP documentation:

<?php

$year = '2012';
$month = '12';
$day = '26';

$current_date = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'), new DateTimeZone('Asia/Dhaka'));
$end_date = new DateTime("$year-$month-$day", new DateTimeZone('Asia/Dhaka'));
$interval = $current_date->diff($end_date);
echo $interval->format('%a day(s)');

?>
