Finding days between date and a timestamp

[cemlouis]

I have a problem with date,

I have 2 variables:
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
and a $date which is 11-22 05:50:00

I was trying to find how many days between them? I tried below:

<?php echo "($timestamp - $date)"; ?> But this is giving the strings like below:

11958804002007 - 11-22 05:50:00

How can I find how many days between them?

Thank you,

Try something like this:

$seconds_in_a_day = 606024;
$seconds_diff = abs(strtotime($date) - $timestamp);

$days = floor($seconds_diff / $seconds_in_a_day);

The key is the strotime() function, which converts almost any string formatted date into a timestamp.
