Age From Date Of Birth

acitirol

I'm having a problem with the date of birth to your age script. For some people it is adding an extra year! i.e. date of birth July 29, 1982 (26) its showing 27 instead. Here is the code I have:

function getAge($fromdate, $todate){

	$diff = date("Y", $todate) - date("Y", $fromdate);

	if(mktime(0,0,0, date("n", $todate),date("j", $todate),1970) > mktime(0,0,0, date("n", $fromdate),date("j", $fromdate),1970)){
			$diff++;
	}

	return $diff;

}[/B]

Does anyone know whats the problem and how to fix it? Thanks

function getAge($fromdate, $todate){

$seconds = mktime($fromdate) - mktime($todate);


$years = $seconds / 31556977;
$years = floor($years)
return $years
}

31556977 is not 100% right, but is proberbly good enough for this kind of thing

I tried that but got an numbers like -96571 where the age goes instead of showing the age.

dagon

what format is the from and todate in?

acitirol

what do you mean?

I did get an error in the part

return $years
}

so I added the ;

return $years;
}

thinking that was the problem and it worked but got those -numbers where the age goes.

$fromdate and $todate need to be in the format mktime() expects, or converted to it.

strtotime() might work for you depending on the date format.
