Something like


SELECT TO_DAYS(NOW())-TO_DAYS(post-date) AS DaysSincePost From YourTable;

The solution given by Banfa will do the purpose.
If you want to try something else , get the first time + date in seconds , second time + date in seconds . Get their difference in seconds and convert the seconds into days .

I hope it helps someone.
