Jayenkai	function DaysBetween($Date1,$Date2) { $Date1_Timestamp=strtotime($Date1); $Date2_Timestamp=strtotime($Date2); $Between=$Date1_Timestamp-$Date2_Timestamp; if ($Date2_Timestamp>$Date1_Timestamp) {$Between=$Date2_Timestamp-$Date1_Timestamp;} $DaysInaTimestamp = 606024; // SecsMinsHours $Result=floor($Between/$DaysInaTimestamp); return $Result; } echo DaysBetween("Today","December 25th"); --v

HoboBen	Haha, all right, that's quite simple! But it's not what my code does - it actually returns a list of all the days between these two dates, which I needed for my website analytics code. e.g. Days Between 20080226 and 20080304 20080226 20080227 20080228 20080229 20080301 20080302 20080303 20080304

Jayenkai	Oh, ok.. Don't forget, then, that date("Ymd",mktime(0,0,0,$day,$mon,$year)) can do "More/Less" days than in the actual month. So (-10,9,2010) is the same as (22,8,2010) quicker!
