我有两个表格日期:

Start Date: 2007-03-24 
End Date: 2009-06-26

现在我需要通过以下形式找到这两者之间的区别:

2 years, 3 months and 2 days

如何在PHP中执行此操作?

$date1='2009-01-01';

echo getYearDifference ($date1,$date2);
function getYearDifference($date1=strtotime($date1),$date2=strtotime($date2)){
    $year = 0;
    while($date2 > $date1 = strtotime('+1 year', $date1)){
        ++$year;
    }
    return $year;
}

对于遗留代码(PHP<5.3)使用此选项。有关最新的解决方案,请参阅下面jurka的答案

您可以使用strtotime()将两个日期转换为unix时间,然后计算它们之间的秒数。由此很容易计算出不同的时间段。

$date1 = "2007-03-24";
$date2 = "2009-06-26";

$diff = abs(strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1));

$years = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));
$months = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24) / (30*60*60*24));
$days = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24)/ (60*60*24));

printf("%d years, %d months, %d days\n", $years, $months, $days);

编辑:显然,尤尔卡在下面描述了这样做的首选方式。如果您没有PHP5.3或更高版本,通常只建议使用我的代码。

评论中的一些人指出,上面的代码只是一个近似值。我仍然认为,对于大多数目的来说,这是很好的,因为范围的使用更多地是为了提供时间流逝或剩余时间的感觉,而不是为了提供精度-如果你想这样做,只需输出日期。

尽管如此,我还是决定解决这些投诉。如果您确实需要一个精确的范围,但还没有访问PHP 5.3,请使用下面的代码(它也可以在PHP 4中使用)。这是PHP内部用于计算范围的代码的直接端口,但不考虑夏时制。这意味着它最多休息一个小时,但除此之外,它应该是正确的。

我想带来一个稍微不同的视角,这似乎没有被提及。

你可以用声明的方式解决这个问题(就像任何其他问题一样)。重点是问你需要什么,而不是如何到达那里。

在这里,你需要与众不同。但这有什么不同?这是一个间隔,正如在最受欢迎的答案中所提到的。问题是如何获取它。您可以不显式调用diff()方法,而是按开始日期和结束日期创建一个间隔,即按日期范围:

$startDate = '2007-03-24';
$endDate = '2009-06-26';
$range = new FromRange(new ISO8601DateTime($startDate), new ISO8601DateTime($endDate));

所有诸如闰年之类的复杂问题都已经解决了。现在,当您有一个固定开始日期时间的间隔时,您可以获得一个人类可读的版本:

var_dump((new HumanReadable($range))->value());

它输出的正是你所需要的。

如果您需要一些自定义格式,这也不是问题。您可以使用ISO8601格式化类,该类接受具有六个参数的调用:年、月、日、小时、分钟和秒:

(new ISO8601Formatted(
    new FromRange(
        new ISO8601DateTime('2017-07-03T14:27:39+00:00'),
        new ISO8601DateTime('2018-07-05T14:27:39.235487+00:00')
    ),
    function (int $years, int $months, int $days, int $hours, int $minutes, int $seconds) {
        return $years >= 1 ? 'More than a year' : 'Less than a year';
    }
))
    ->value();

它的产量超过一年。

有关此方法的更多信息,请查看快速入门条目。

您可以使用

getdate()

函数,该函数返回包含所提供日期/时间的所有元素的数组:

$diff = abs($endDate - $startDate);
$my_t=getdate($diff);
print("$my_t[year] years, $my_t[month] months and $my_t[mday] days");

如果开始和结束日期为字符串格式,则使用

$startDate = strtotime($startDateStr);
$endDate = strtotime($endDateStr);

在上述代码之前

// If you just want to see the year difference then use this function.
// Using the logic I've created you may also create month and day difference
// which I did not provide here so you may have the efforts to use your brain.
// :)
$date1='2009-01-01';
$date2='2010-01-01';
echo getYearDifference ($date1,$date2);
function getYearDifference($date1=strtotime($date1),$date2=strtotime($date2)){
    $year = 0;
    while($date2 > $date1 = strtotime('+1 year', $date1)){
        ++$year;
    }
    return $year;
}

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';
}
