如果你正在使用MySql

function daysSince($date, $date2){
$q = "SELECT DATEDIFF('$date','$date2') AS days;";
$result = execQ($q);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH);
return ($row[0]);

}

function execQ($q){
$result = mysql_query( $q);
if(!$result){echo ('Database error execQ' . mysql_error());echo $q;}    
return $result;

}

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');

这是我的改进版本，显示1年2月25天(s)，如果通过第二个参数。

class App_Sandbox_String_Util {
    /**
     * Usage: App_Sandbox_String_Util::getDateDiff();
     * @param int $your_date timestamp
     * @param bool $hr human readable. e.g. 1 year(s) 2 day(s)
     * @see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2040560/finding-the-number-of-days-between-two-dates
     * @see http://qSandbox.com
     */
    static public function getDateDiff($your_date, $hr = 0) {
        $now = time(); // or your date as well
        $datediff = $now - $your_date;
        $days = floor( $datediff / ( 3600 * 24 ) );

        $label = '';

        if ($hr) {
            if ($days >= 365) { // over a year
                $years = floor($days / 365);
                $label .= $years . ' Year(s)';
                $days -= 365 * $years;
            }

            if ($days) {
                $months = floor( $days / 30 );
                $label .= ' ' . $months . ' Month(s)';
                $days -= 30 * $months;
            }

            if ($days) {
                $label .= ' ' . $days . ' day(s)';
            }
        } else {
            $label = $days;
        }

        return $label;
    }
}

出于类似的目的，我在我的作曲项目中使用Carbon。

就像这样简单:

$dt = Carbon::parse('2010-01-01');
echo $dt->diffInDays(Carbon::now());

如果你想在开始日期和结束日期之间重复所有的日子，我想出了这个:

$startdatum = $_POST['start']; // starting date
$einddatum = $_POST['eind']; // end date

$now = strtotime($startdatum);
$your_date = strtotime($einddatum);
$datediff = $your_date - $now;
$number = floor($datediff/(60*60*24));

for($i=0;$i <= $number; $i++)
{
    echo date('d-m-Y' ,strtotime("+".$i." day"))."<br>";
}

计算两个日期的差值:

$date1=date_create("2013-03-15");
$date2=date_create("2013-12-12");

$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);

echo $diff->format("%R%a days");

输出: + 272天

函数的作用是:返回两个DateTime对象之间的差值。
