Working out elapsed days

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

i can't seem to get this what im trying to do is work out the elapsed time in DAYS from 2 dates code is:

             $time_now = time();
             $d2 = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $time_now);
             $d1 = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($ng_date));
             $days = ceil(($d1 - $d2) / (60 * 60 * 24));

when echoing out it produces:

2007-06-02 16:53:24
2007-08-27 18:00:51

which is right, but $days echoes out as 0.

can ANyone help lol

cheers

Graham

look at the first user comment here:
I believe you can easily adapt this function to do what you need.
