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)

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!

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');

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

$datediff = floor(strtotime($date1)/(60*60*24)) - floor(strtotime($date2)/(60*60*24));

如果需要的话:

$datediff=abs($datediff);

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。
