i have create a script to get the age from Birthday. here it is...
If theres any easy method or logic please let me knw

<?php
// Count number of days between two dates
function days($endDate, $beginDate)
{

			//explode the date by "-" and storing to array
			$date_parts1 = explode("-", $beginDate);
			$date_parts2 = explode("-", $endDate);
			//gregoriantojd() Converts a Gregorian date to Julian Day Count
			$start_date = gregoriantojd($date_parts1[1], $date_parts1[2], $date_parts1[0]);
			$end_date = gregoriantojd($date_parts2[1], $date_parts2[2], $date_parts2[0]);
			return $end_date - $start_date;
}


// Age from birthday
function get_age($bday)
{
				$no_of_days = days(date("Y-m-d"), $bday);
				$years = $no_of_days / 365;
				$round_off = explode(".", $years);
				return $round_off[0];


}

echo get_age('1986-06-22');

?>

If you have the birth date in $month, $day, and $year:

$today = time();
for($yr = $year, $age = -1; mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$yr) < $today; $yr++, $age++);
echo $age;

Which started in this PHPBuilder forum thread. It's always kind of interesting how the same question will show up multiple times here in a short period of time.

This is why we need a good solid code library containing excellent code for many commonly asked / useful tasks... will cut down on thread participation (which I mean is a good thing so that focus can be more directed towards more 'needy' threads). Time may not equal money here on these forums, but it still has its value.
