如果你使用的是PHP 5.3 >，这是目前为止最准确的计算绝对差值的方法:

$earlier = new DateTime("2010-07-06");
$later = new DateTime("2010-07-09");

$abs_diff = $later->diff($earlier)->format("%a"); //3

如果你需要一个相对的(带符号的)天数，可以用这个代替:

$earlier = new DateTime("2010-07-06");
$later = new DateTime("2010-07-09");

$pos_diff = $earlier->diff($later)->format("%r%a"); //3
$neg_diff = $later->diff($earlier)->format("%r%a"); //-3

更多关于php的DateInterval格式可以在这里找到:https://www.php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.format.php

<?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。

function get_daydiff($end_date,$today)
{
    if($today=='')
    {
        $today=date('Y-m-d');
    }
    $str = floor(strtotime($end_date)/(60*60*24)) - floor(strtotime($today)/(60*60*24));
    return $str;
}
$d1 = "2018-12-31";
$d2 = "2018-06-06";
echo get_daydiff($d1, $d2);

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');

详见:https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-find-the-number-of-days-between-two-dates-in-php-1404748b1e84

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

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

你可以试试下面的代码:

$dt1 = strtotime("2019-12-12"); //Enter your first date
$dt2 = strtotime("12-12-2020"); //Enter your second date
echo abs(($dt1 - $dt2) / (60 * 60 * 24));
