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;

}

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');

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;

}

我已经尝试了答案中几乎所有的方法。但是DateTime和date_create在所有测试用例中都没有给出正确答案。特别在2月和3月或12月和1月进行测试。

所以，我想出了混合溶液。

public static function getMonthsDaysDiff($fromDate, $toDate, $includingEnding = false){
    $d1=new DateTime($fromDate);
    $d2=new DateTime($toDate);
    if($includingEnding === true){
        $d2 = $d2->modify('+1 day');
    }
    $diff = $d2->diff($d1);
    $months = (($diff->format('%y') * 12) + $diff->format('%m'));

    $lastSameDate = $d1->modify("+$months month");
    $days = date_diff(
        date_create($d2->format('Y-m-d')),
        date_create($lastSameDate->format('Y-m-d'))
    )->format('%a');

    $return = ['months' => $months,
        'days' => $days];
}

我知道，性能方面这是相当昂贵的。你也可以把它扩展到年限。

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。

你可以通过简单的方法找到约会对象

<?php
$start  = date_create('1988-08-10');
$end    = date_create(); // Current time and date
$diff   = date_diff( $start, $end );

echo 'The difference is ';
echo  $diff->y . ' years, ';
echo  $diff->m . ' months, ';
echo  $diff->d . ' days, ';
echo  $diff->h . ' hours, ';
echo  $diff->i . ' minutes, ';
echo  $diff->s . ' seconds';
// Output: The difference is 28 years, 5 months, 19 days, 20 hours, 34 minutes, 36 seconds

echo 'The difference in days : ' . $diff->days;
// Output: The difference in days : 10398
