I am only asking for my code to do a simple thing but for some reason i
just can't get it to do what i want it to do... it been bugging me all
day!
The user inputs 2 dates on one page. in the form xx/xx/xxxx
I then want the output page to display the amount of days that there
are between these two dates, inclusive. For example:
01/01/2005
03/01/2005
= 3 days
Also over a month change..
27/03/2005
02/04/2005
= 7 days
I can't see anywhere on the forum a successfull version of this in PHP
code.
please Help!
Thanks

Convert the two dates to a unix timestamp, subtract them, and you'll get
your answers in seconds. As long as both dates are after 1969, you'll be
fine.

Actually, this would be 60 days; 03/01 would be interpreter
as March 1, not January 3...
Anyway, here's what you need:
$date1 = '01/01/2005';
$date1 = '03/01/2005';
$days = round((strtotim e("$date2 23:59:59") -
strtotime("$dat e1 00:00:00")) / (24*60*60));

The complexity of a question is in no way related to how succinctly you
can state the question!
compare:
"Why do we think gravitation and acceleration are equivelant?"
with:
"What is 89 plus 5?"
Finding the difference between dates isn't trivial, although it is a
commonly required task...

Check out www.phpclasses.org. A search on 'compare date' turns up a number of
classes that accomplish this sort of thing.

Hi all.
Handling files is an extremely frequent task in programming, so most
programming languages have an abstraction of the basic files offered by
the underlying operating system. This is indeed also true for our language
of choice, Python. Its file type allows some extraordinary convenient
access like:
for line in open("blah"):

I was wondering if there was an easy way for me to calculate the mode

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
