选择的答案不是最正确的答案，因为它将在UTC之外失败。 根据时区(列表)，可能会有时间调整创建“没有”24小时的日子，这将使计算(60*60*24)失败。

这里有一个例子:

date_default_timezone_set('europe/lisbon');
$time1 = strtotime('2016-03-27');
$time2 = strtotime('2016-03-29');
echo floor( ($time2-$time1) /(60*60*24));
 ^-- the output will be **1**

因此，正确的解决方案是使用DateTime

date_default_timezone_set('europe/lisbon');
$date1 = new DateTime("2016-03-27");
$date2 = new DateTime("2016-03-29");

echo $date2->diff($date1)->format("%a");
 ^-- the output will be **2**

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);

$now = time(); // or your date as well
$your_date = strtotime("2010-01-31");
$datediff = $now - $your_date;

echo round($datediff / (60 * 60 * 24));

    // 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";

从PHP 5.3及以上版本开始，添加了新的日期/时间函数来获得不同:

$datetime1 = new DateTime("2010-06-20");

$datetime2 = new DateTime("2011-06-22");

$difference = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);

echo 'Difference: '.$difference->y.' years, ' 
                   .$difference->m.' months, ' 
                   .$difference->d.' days';

print_r($difference);

结果如下:

Difference: 1 years, 0 months, 2 days

DateInterval Object
(
    [y] => 1
    [m] => 0
    [d] => 2
    [h] => 0
    [i] => 0
    [s] => 0
    [invert] => 0
    [days] => 367
)

希望能有所帮助!
