PHP calculates the number of years, months and days between two dates

The first method is implemented using PHP class library

<code>/**
 * function：计算两个日期相隔多少年，多少月，多少天
 * param string $date1[格式如：2011-11-5]
 * param string $date2[格式如：2012-12-01]
 * return array array('年','月','日');
 */
function diffDate($date1,$date2)
{
    $datetime1 = new \DateTime($date1);
    $datetime2 = new \DateTime($date2);
    $interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
    $time['y']         = $interval->format('%Y');
    $time['m']         = $interval->format('%m');
    $time['d']         = $interval->format('%d');
    $time['h']         = $interval->format('%H');
    $time['i']         = $interval->format('%i');
    $time['s']         = $interval->format('%s');
    $time['a']         = $interval->format('%a');    // 两个时间相差总天数
    return $time;
}


# 使用实例
$sss = diffDate('2015-12-25 12:30:30', '2015-12-26 15:00:00');
print_r($sss);

# 输出
Array
(
    [y] => 00
    [m] => 0
    [d] => 1
    [h] => 02
    [i] => 29
    [s] => 30
    [a] => 1
)</code>

The second method is implemented using functions (still under testing...)

<code>// 计算两个时间相差（时分秒）
$aaa = strtotime('2015-12-26 16:33:33');
$bbb = $aaa-time();
echo gmstrftime('%Y %m %d %H:%M:%S',$aaa);
exit;

$left_time = 86400 - time()+strtotime($orderInfo['create_time']);
echo:gmstrftime('%H:%M:%S',$left_time);</code>

The above introduces PHP to calculate the number of years, months, and days between two dates, including the content. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
