hi - i used this code for a classifieds script i wrote:

include_once 'Date/Calc.php';
$td_inf = getdate(time());
$ld_inf = getdate(strtotime($last_date));
$days_left = Date_Calc::dateDiff($ld_inf['mday'], $ld_inf['mon'], $ld_inf['year'], $td_inf['mday'], $td_inf['mon'], $td_inf['year']);

Date_Calc::dateDiff() is a function provided by PEAR. youll need to have access to that.

If you have the dates in a unix timestamp format (or are willing to convert them to unix timestamp format) you can simply use:

$diff = $date1 - $date2;
$min_diff = $diff / 60;
$hr_diff = $diff / 3600;
$day_diff = $diff / 86400;

Or, more visually understandable:

$diff = $date1 - $date2;
$min_diff = $diff / 60;
$hr_diff = $min_diff / 60;
$day_day = $hr_diff / 24;
