}

function howManyDays($startDate,$endDate) {

    $date1  = strtotime($startDate." 0:00:00");
    $date2  = strtotime($endDate." 23:59:59");
    $res    =  (int)(($date2-$date1)/86400);        

return $res;
} 

这段代码为我工作，并用PHP 8版本测试:

function numberOfDays($startDate, $endDate) 
{
    //1) converting dates to timestamps
     $startSeconds = strtotime($startDate);
     $endSeconds = strtotime($endDate);
   
    //2) Calculating the difference in timestamps
    $diffSeconds = $startSeconds  - $endSeconds;
     
    
    //3) converting timestamps to days
    $days=round($diffSeconds / 86400);
    
      /*  note :
          1 day = 24 hours 
          24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds
      */
   
    //4) printing the number of days
    printf("Difference between two dates: ". abs($days) . " Days ");
    
    return abs($days);
}

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

}

这个工作!

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

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