最简单的方法来找出两个日期之间的天数差

$date1 = strtotime("2019-05-25"); 
$date2 = strtotime("2010-06-23");

$date_difference = $date2 - $date1;

$result =  round( $date_difference / (60 * 60 * 24) );

echo $result;

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!

    // 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";

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


$date = new DateTime($early_start_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('start_hr');
    set_focus('end_hr');
    return FALSE;
}

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);    
?>

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。
