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);

我建议使用DateTime和DateInterval对象。

$date1 = new DateTime("2007-03-24");
$date2 = new DateTime("2009-06-26");
$interval = $date1->diff($date2);
echo "difference " . $interval->y . " years, " . $interval->m." months, ".$interval->d." days "; 

// shows the total amount of days (not divided into years, months and days like above)
echo "difference " . $interval->days . " days ";

阅读更多php DateTime:：diff手册

根据手册：

从PHP 5.2.2开始，DateTime对象可以使用比较运算符进行比较。

$date1 = new DateTime("now");
$date2 = new DateTime("tomorrow");

var_dump($date1 == $date2); // bool(false)
var_dump($date1 < $date2);  // bool(true)
var_dump($date1 > $date2);  // bool(false)

使用此函数

//function Diff between Dates
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//PARA: Date Should In YYYY-MM-DD Format
//RESULT FORMAT:
// '%y Year %m Month %d Day %h Hours %i Minute %s Seconds' =>  1 Year 3 Month 14 Day 11 Hours 49 Minute 36 Seconds
// '%y Year %m Month %d Day'                       =>  1 Year 3 Month 14 Days
// '%m Month %d Day'                                     =>  3 Month 14 Day
// '%d Day %h Hours'                                   =>  14 Day 11 Hours
// '%d Day'                                                 =>  14 Days
// '%h Hours %i Minute %s Seconds'         =>  11 Hours 49 Minute 36 Seconds
// '%i Minute %s Seconds'                           =>  49 Minute 36 Seconds
// '%h Hours                                          =>  11 Hours
// '%a Days                                                =>  468 Days
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function dateDifference($date_1 , $date_2 , $differenceFormat = '%a' )
{
    $datetime1 = date_create($date_1);
    $datetime2 = date_create($date_2);

    $interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);

    return $interval->format($differenceFormat);

}

仅根据需要设置参数$differenceFormat例如，我希望你的年龄在到岁之间，以月和日为单位

dateDifference（日期（'Y-m-d'），$date，'%Y%m%d'）

或其他格式

dateDifference（日期（'Y-m-d'），$date，'%Y-%m-%d'）

<?php
    $today = strtotime("2011-02-03 00:00:00");
    $myBirthDate = strtotime("1964-10-30 00:00:00");
    printf("Days since my birthday: ", ($today - $myBirthDate)/60/60/24);
?>

您可以始终使用以下函数，以年和月为单位返回年龄（即1年4个月）

function getAge($dob, $age_at_date)
{  
    $d1 = new DateTime($dob);
    $d2 = new DateTime($age_at_date);
    $age = $d2->diff($d1);
    $years = $age->y;
    $months = $age->m;

    return $years.'.'.months;
}

或者如果希望在当前日期计算年龄，可以使用

function getAge($dob)
{  
    $d1 = new DateTime($dob);
    $d2 = new DateTime(date());
    $age = $d2->diff($d1);
    $years = $age->y;
    $months = $age->m;

    return $years.'.'.months;
}

function showTime($time){

    $start      = strtotime($time);
    $end        = strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
    $minutes    = ($end - $start)/60;


    // years 
    if(($minutes / (60*24*365)) > 1){
        $years = floor($minutes/(60*24*365));
        return "From $years year( s ) ago";
    }


    // monthes 
    if(($minutes / (60*24*30)) > 1){
        $monthes = floor($minutes/(60*24*30));
        return "From $monthes monthe( s ) ago";
    }


    // days 
    if(($minutes / (60*24)) > 1){
        $days = floor($minutes/(60*24));
        return "From $days day( s ) ago";
    }

    // hours 
    if(($minutes / 60) > 1){
        $hours = floor($minutes/60);
        return "From $hours hour( s ) ago";
    }

    // minutes 
    if($minutes > 1){
        $minutes = floor($minutes);
        return "From $minutes minute( s ) ago";
    }
}

echo showTime('2022-05-05 21:33:00');
