$early_start_date = date2sql($_POST['early_leave_date']);

$date->modify('+1 day');


$date_a = new DateTime($early_start_date . ' ' . $_POST['start_hr'] . ':' . $_POST['start_mm']);
$date_b = new DateTime($date->format('Y-m-d') . ' ' . $_POST['end_hr'] . ':' . $_POST['end_mm']);

$interval = date_diff($date_a, $date_b);


$time = $interval->format('%h:%i');
$parsed = date_parse($time);
$seconds = $parsed['hour'] * 3600 + $parsed['minute'] * 60;
//        display_error($seconds);

$second3 = $employee_information['shift'] * 60 * 60;

if ($second3 < $seconds)
    display_error(_('Leave time can not be greater than shift time.Please try again........'));

    set_focus('end_hr');

PHP中两个日期之间的天数

      function dateDiff($date1, $date2)  //days find function
        { 
            $diff = strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1); 
            return abs(round($diff / 86400)); 
        } 
       //start day
       $date1 = "11-10-2018";        
       // end day
       $date2 = "31-10-2018";    
       // call the days find fun store to variable 
       $dateDiff = dateDiff($date1, $date2); 

       echo "Difference between two dates: ". $dateDiff . " Days "; 

使用这个:)

$days = (strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate)) / (60 * 60 * 24);
print $days;

现在起作用了

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。

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

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

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');
