<?php
$date1=date_create("2013-03-15");
$date2=date_create("2013-12-12");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
echo $diff->format("%R%a days");
?>

上面的代码用的很简单。谢谢。

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)

看看所有的答案，我写了一个通用函数，适用于所有的PHP版本。

if(!function_exists('date_between')) :
    function date_between($date_start, $date_end)
    {
        if(!$date_start || !$date_end) return 0;

        if( class_exists('DateTime') )
        {
            $date_start = new DateTime( $date_start );
            $date_end   = new DateTime( $date_end );
            return $date_end->diff($date_start)->format('%a');
        }
        else
        {           
            return abs( round( ( strtotime($date_start) - strtotime($date_end) ) / 86400 ) );
        }
    }
endif;

一般来说，我使用“DateTime”来查找两个日期之间的天数。但如果出于某种原因，一些服务器设置没有启用'DateTime'，它将使用'strtotime()'简单(但不安全)计算。

    // 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";

使用这个简单的函数。声明函数

<?php
function dateDiff($firstDate,$secondDate){
    $firstDate = strtotime($firstDate);
    $secondDate = strtotime($secondDate);

    $datediff = $firstDate - $secondDate;
    $output = round($datediff / (60 * 60 * 24));
    return $output;
}
?>

像这样调用这个函数

<?php
    echo dateDiff("2018-01-01","2018-12-31");    

// OR

    $firstDate = "2018-01-01";
    $secondDate = "2018-01-01";
    echo dateDiff($firstDate,$secondDate);    
?>

这个工作!

$start = strtotime('2010-01-25');
$end = strtotime('2010-02-20');

$days_between = ceil(abs($end - $start) / 86400);
