Calculate # of months (remaining)

[relic1980]

I'm trying to figure out how many months there are between today and a future date.

I don't want to subtract time() from a futuredate as it will not be accurate for certain months.

I can't multiply 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30 days, as some months have 28, 29 and 31 days.

For example from today to Feb 10, 2008 - the answer should be 3 months and not 89 days (which is less than 3 months)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Untested:

$futureDate = '2008-02-10';
$futureTime = strtotime($futureDate);
$today = time();
$months = 0;
while($today < $futureTime)
{
   $months++;
   $today = strtotime("+ 1 month", $today);
}
echo $months;
