[RESOLVED] Unix time stamp - how do i find the days between two dates

[rodneykm]

I need to find the number of days between two dates that are in the unix time stamp format. Here is what I have so far....it seems like it should be pretty easy...but I've hit a wall.

$date_begin = strtotime($_POST['date_begin']);
$date_end = strtotime($_POST['date_end']);


$offset = ($date_begin - $date_end);
$thedate= date("d", $offset);
print  $thedate;

Have a look at this
following function at a member ( NogDog ) website.

Maybe you can use it, or modify it to suit your application.

function timeDiff($t1, $t2)
{
   if($t1 > $t2)
   {
      $time1 = $t2;
      $time2 = $t1;
   }
// .............................................

Thanks bro worked like a charm. I had been looking at that but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Took a break and came back to it tonight and made much more sense. I truly do appreciate the help.

Cheers mate!
