这是可运行的代码

$date1 = date_create('2007-03-24');
$date2 = date_create('2009-06-26');
$diff1 = date_diff($date1,$date2);
$daysdiff = $diff1->format("%R%a");
$daysdiff = abs($daysdiff);

由于每个人都在发布代码示例，这里有另一个版本。

我想要一个函数来显示从秒到年的差异（仅一个单位）。对于超过1天的时段，我希望它在午夜滚动（周一上午10点到周三上午9点是2天前，而不是1天前）。对于超过一个月的时间段，我希望滚动在当月的同一天（包括30/31天的月份和闰年）。

这就是我想到的：

/**
 * Returns how long ago something happened in the past, showing it
 * as n seconds / minutes / hours / days / weeks / months / years ago.
 *
 * For periods over a day, it rolls over at midnight (so doesn't depend
 * on current time of day), and it correctly accounts for month-lengths
 * and leap-years (months and years rollover on current day of month).
 *
 * $param string $timestamp in DateTime format
 * $return string description of interval
 */
function ago($timestamp)
{
    $then = date_create($timestamp);

    // for anything over 1 day, make it rollover on midnight
    $today = date_create('tomorrow'); // ie end of today
    $diff = date_diff($then, $today);

    if ($diff->y > 0) return $diff->y.' year'.($diff->y>1?'s':'').' ago';
    if ($diff->m > 0) return $diff->m.' month'.($diff->m>1?'s':'').' ago';
    $diffW = floor($diff->d / 7);
    if ($diffW > 0) return $diffW.' week'.($diffW>1?'s':'').' ago';
    if ($diff->d > 1) return $diff->d.' day'.($diff->d>1?'s':'').' ago';

    // for anything less than 1 day, base it off 'now'
    $now = date_create();
    $diff = date_diff($then, $now);

    if ($diff->d > 0) return 'yesterday';
    if ($diff->h > 0) return $diff->h.' hour'.($diff->h>1?'s':'').' ago';
    if ($diff->i > 0) return $diff->i.' minute'.($diff->i>1?'s':'').' ago';
    return $diff->s.' second'.($diff->s==1?'':'s').' ago';
}

使用date_diff（）尝试这个非常简单的答案，这是经过测试的。

$date1 = date_create("2017-11-27");
$date2 = date_create("2018-12-29");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
$months = $diff->format("%m months");
$years = $diff->format("%y years");
$days = $diff->format("%d days");

echo $years .' '.$months.' '.$days;

输出为：

1 years 1 months 2 days
