I made this and needed some help tweaking it so that it gives the proper outcome
function daysDifference($end){
//$start = "2007-03-24";
//$end = "2009-06-26";
$now = date("Y-m-d");
$e = (is_string($end) ? strtotime($end) : $end);
$diff = abs($e - strtotime($now));
$years = floor($diff / (365 * 60 * 60 * 24));
$months = floor(($diff - $years * 365 * 60 * 60 * 24) / (30 * 60 * 60 * 24));
$days = floor(($diff - $years * 365 * 60 * 60 * 24 - $months * 30 * 60 * 60 * 24)/ (60 * 60 *24));
return ($years == 0 ? '' : ($years == 1 ? $years . ' year ' : $years . ' years ')) . ($months == 0 ? '' : ($months == 1 ? $months . ' month ' : $months . ' months ')) . ($days == 0 ? '' : ($days == 1 ? $days . ' day ' : $days . ' days '));
}
$end is being pulled from my database so there is checks to see if its a string or a date already.
$e now can be used, but when I tried to subtract $now from $e I get funny results
for instance:
$now being today the 13th and $e being an end date for a project, it's suppose to give me what I need... right?
Where I'm suppose to get say 12 days remaining, I get 1 year 12 days.
and where $e = 0000-00-00 (in case the user didn't input an end date), I get 40 years 10 months and 26 days remaining.
I tried alot of different variations to my calculations but I keep getting nowhere.
