面向对象的风格:

$datetime1 = new DateTime('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = new DateTime('2009-10-13');
$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');

程序上的风格:

$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');

    // Change this to the day in the future
$day = 15;

// Change this to the month in the future
$month = 11;

// Change this to the year in the future
$year = 2012;

// $days is the number of days between now and the date in the future
$days = (int)((mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year) - time(void))/86400);

echo "There are $days days until $day/$month/$year";

易于使用date_diff

$from=date_create(date('Y-m-d'));
$to=date_create("2013-03-15");
$diff=date_diff($to,$from);
print_r($diff);
echo $diff->format('%R%a days');

详见:https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-find-the-number-of-days-between-two-dates-in-php-1404748b1e84

如果你有以秒为单位的时间(即unix时间戳)，那么你可以简单地减去时间并除以86400(秒/天)

使用这个:)

$days = (strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate)) / (60 * 60 * 24);
print $days;

现在起作用了

我阅读了所有以前的解决方案，没有一个使用PHP 5.3工具:DateTime::Diff和DateInterval::Days

DateInterval::Days精确地包含日期之间的天数。没有必要创造一些特别和奇异的东西。

/**
 * We suppose that PHP is configured in UTC
 * php.ini configuration:
 * [Date]
 * ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
 * ; http://php.net/date.timezone
 * date.timezone = UTC
 * @link http://php.net/date.timezone
 */

/**
 * getDaysBetween2Dates
 *
 * Return the difference of days between $date1 and $date2 ($date1 - $date2)
 * if $absolute parameter is false, the return value is negative if $date2 is after than $date1
 *
 * @param DateTime $date1
 * @param DateTime $date2
 * @param Boolean $absolute
 *            = true
 * @return integer
 */
function getDaysBetween2Dates(DateTime $date1, DateTime $date2, $absolute = true)
{
    $interval = $date2->diff($date1);
    // if we have to take in account the relative position (!$absolute) and the relative position is negative,
    // we return negatif value otherwise, we return the absolute value
    return (!$absolute and $interval->invert) ? - $interval->days : $interval->days;
}

echo '<h3>2020-03-01 - 2020-02-01: 29 days as it\'s a standard leap year</h3>';
echo getDaysBetween2Dates(new DateTime("2020-03-01"), new DateTime("2020-02-01"), false);

echo '<h3>1900-03-01 - 1900-02-01: 28 days as it\'s a "standard" century</h3>';
echo getDaysBetween2Dates(new DateTime("1900-03-01"), new DateTime("1900-02-01"), false);

echo '<h3>2000-03-01 - 2000-02-01: 29 days as it\'s a century multiple of 400: 2000=400x5</h3>';
echo getDaysBetween2Dates(new DateTime("2000-03-01"), new DateTime("2000-02-01"), false);

echo '<h3>2020-03-01 - 2020-04-01: -28 days as 2020-03-01 is before 2020-04-01</h3>';
echo getDaysBetween2Dates(new DateTime("2020-02-01"), new DateTime("2020-03-01"), false);
