How to calculate the difference between two dates using PHP?

I have a PHP array that holds film release dates in the form of “2012-04-04” as an example. How would i go about finding the difference of 2 dates.

For example –

2012-04-04

2012-03-31

Expected response – 5 days difference

Answer 1

$d1 = new DateTime('2012-04-04');
$d2 = new DateTime('2012-03-31');

$interval = $d1->diff($d2);

echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
