Current Age code problem

[trendMM]

Hi,

I recently did a website for a client of mine who just had his first child. He wanted me to build the website as a present for his wife so they could track his steps as a baby. Anyways, at the top of the site I have a code for his current age. For some reason it should be at 60 days or 1 month 30 days but it jumped up to 2 months and 31 days. I don't know what I did wrong, www.alexanderdenny.com/home.php if you want to see what I mean.

If someone could please take a look at the code I used and let me know what's wrong with it I would really appreciate it...

<?
function elapsed($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute) {

  $todayMonth = date(n);
  $todayDay = date(j);
  $todayHour = date(G);
  $todayMinute = date(i);
  $monthday = date(nj);
  $link = $month.$day;
  $datepoint = $link;

$curAge = "";

  if ($monthday < $datepoint) $years = date(Y) - $year - 1;
  else $years = date(Y) - $year;
  if ($years < 1) $yearWord = '';
  elseif ($years == 1) $yearWord = 'YEAR';
  elseif ($years > 1) $yearWord = 'YEAR(S)';
  if ($todayMonth > $month) {
    if ($todayDay < $day) $months = $todayMonth - $month -1;
    else $months = $todayMonth - $month;
  } else {
    $between = $month - $todayMonth;
    $plus = 12 - $month;
    if ($todayDay < $day) $months = $month + $plus - $between -1;
    else $months = $month + $plus - $between;
  }
  if ($months == 1) $monthWord = 'MONTH';
  elseif ($months > 1) $monthWord = 'MONTH(S)';
  if ($todayDay > $day) {
    if ($todayHour < $hour) $days = $todayDay - $day -1;
    else $days = $todayDay - $day;
  } else {
    $between = $day - $todayDay;
    $daysToEndOfMonth = date(t) - $day;
    if (date(t) == 28) $plus = $daysToEndOfMonth;
    if (date(t) == 29) $plus = $daysToEndOfMonth;
    if (date(t) == 30) $plus = $daysToEndOfMonth;
    if (date(t) == 31) $plus = $daysToEndOfMonth;
    if ($todayHour < $hour) $days = $day + $plus - $between - 1;
    else $days = $day + $plus - $between;
  }
  if ($days == 1) $dayWord = 'DAY';
  else $dayWord = 'DAY(S)';
  if ($todayHour > $hour) {
    if ($todayMinute < $minute) $hours = $todayHour - $hour - 1;
    else $hours = $todayHour - $hour;
  } else { 
    $between = $hour - $todayHour;
    $plus = 24 - $hour;
    if ($todayMinute < $minute) $hours = $hour + $plus - $between - 1;
    else $hours = $hour + $plus - $between;
  }
  if ($hours == 1) $hourWord = 'hour,';
  if ($hours > 1) $hourWord = 'hours,';
  if ($todayMinute > $minute) {
    $minutes = $todayMinute - $minute;
  } else { 
    $between = $minute - $todayMinute;
    $plus = 60 - $minute;
    $minutes = $minute + $plus - $between;
  }
  if ($minutes == 60) $minutes = 0;
  if ($minutes == 1) $minuteWord = 'minute';
  elseif ($minutes > 1) $minuteWord = 'minutes';
  if ($years == 0) { $years = '0'; $yearWord = 'YEAR(S)'; }
  if ($months == 0) { $months = '0'; $monthWord = 'MONTH(S)'; }
  if ($days == 0) { $days = '0'; $dayWord = 'DAY(S)'; }
  if ($hours == 0) { $hours = ''; $hourWord = ''; }
  if ($minutes == 0) { $minutes = ''; $minuteWord = ''; }

echo '&yr='.$years.' '.$yearWord.'&mn='.$months.'  '.$monthWord.'&day='.$days.' '.$dayWord.'';

}

elapsed(2005,1,30,0,00);


?>

Thanks in advance!

I think you'd find it a lot simpler if you went in the other direction....

// Insert true values here.
// year, month and day all count starting from 1,
// hour, minute and second count starting from 0.
$birth_year = /**/;
$birth_month = /**/;
$birth_day = /**/;
$birth_hour = /**/;
$birth_minute = /**/;
$birth_second = /**/;

$now = getdate();
$current_year = $now['year'];
$current_month = $now['mon'];
$current_day = $now['mday'];
$current_hour = $now['hours'];
$current_minute = $now['minutes'];
$current_second = $now['seconds'];

$years   = $current_year-$birth_year;
$months  = $current_month - $birth_month;
$days    = $current_day - $birth_day;
$hours   = $current_hour - $birth_hour;
$minutes = $current_minute - $birth_minute;
$seconds = $current_second - $birth_second;

if($seconds<0)
{
	$seconds += 60;
	$minutes--;
}
if($minutes<0)
{
	$minutes += 60;
	$hours--;
}
if($hours<0)
{
	$hours += 24;
	$days--;
}
if($days<0)
{
	$days += date('t', strtotime('last month'));
	$months--;
}
if($months<0)
{
	$months += 12;
	$years--;
}
if($years<0)
{
	echo "You have just been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for
your development of practical time travel. Congratulations!";
