// 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";

出于类似的目的，我在我的作曲项目中使用Carbon。

就像这样简单:

$dt = Carbon::parse('2010-01-01');
echo $dt->diffInDays(Carbon::now());

    // 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";

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。

function howManyDays($startDate,$endDate) {

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

return $res;
} 

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

如果需要的话:

$datediff=abs($datediff);
