If you want to know the number of days  if any   the number of hours  if any   minutues  if any  and seconds  you can do the following    previousTimeStamp   strtotime  2011 07 01 21 12 34     lastTimeStamp   strtotime  2013 09 17 12 34 11      menos  lastTimeStamp- previousTimeStamp    mins  menos 60  if  mins lt 1    showing   menos     seconds ago     else   minsfinal floor  mins    secondsfinal  menos-  minsfinal 60    hours  minsfinal 60  if  hours lt 1    showing   minsfinal     minutes and      secondsfinal    seconds ago      else   hoursfinal floor  hours    minssuperfinal  minsfinal-  hoursfinal 60    days  hoursfinal 24  if  days lt 1    showing   hoursfinal    hours       minssuperfinal     minutes and      secondsfinal    seconds ago      else   daysfinal floor  days    hourssuperfinal  hoursfinal-  daysfinal 24    showing   daysfinal   days      hourssuperfinal     hours       minssuperfinal     minutes and      secondsfinal    seconds ago        echo  showing    You could use the same logic if you want to add months and years

In case your DateTime has also hour minutes seconds and you still want to have the number of days                  Returns the total number of days between to DateTimes          if it is within the same year         param  start         param  end             public function dateTimesToDays  start  end          return intval  end- gt format  z    - intval  start- gt format  z      1          https   github com dukeatcoding timespan-converter

You can use date diff to calculate the difference between two dates    date1   date create  2013-03-15     date2   date create  2013-12-12     diff    date diff  date1    date2   echo   diff- gt format   R a days

Here is the raw way to do it   startTimeStamp   strtotime  2011 07 01     endTimeStamp   strtotime  2011 07 17      timeDiff   abs  endTimeStamp -  startTimeStamp     numberDays    timeDiff 86400      86400 seconds in one day     and you might want to convert to integer  numberDays   intval  numberDays

None of the solutions worked for me  For those who are still on PHP 5 2  DateTime  diff was introduced in 5 3   this solution works   function howDays  from   to         first date   strtotime  from        second date   strtotime  to        offset    second date- first date       return floor  offset 60 60 24

Use DateTime  diff  aka date diff     datetime1   new DateTime  2009-10-11     datetime2   new DateTime  2009-10-13     interval    datetime1- gt diff  datetime2     Or    datetime1   date create  2009-10-11     datetime2   date create  2009-10-13     interval   date diff  datetime1   datetime2     You can then get the interval as a integer by calling  interval- gt days
