我有两个表格日期:

Start Date: 2007-03-24 
End Date: 2009-06-26

现在我需要通过以下形式找到这两者之间的区别:

2 years, 3 months and 2 days

如何在PHP中执行此操作?

“如果”日期存储在MySQL中,我发现在数据库级别进行差异计算更容易。。。然后根据“天”、“小时”、“分钟”、“秒”输出,分析并显示相应的结果。。。

mysql> select firstName, convert_tz(loginDate, '+00:00', '-04:00') as loginDate, TIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY, loginDate, now()) as 'Day', TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, loginDate, now())+4 as 'Hour', TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, loginDate, now())+(60*4) as 'Min', TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, loginDate, now())+(60*60*4) as 'Sec' from User_ where userId != '10158' AND userId != '10198' group by emailAddress order by loginDate desc;

我更喜欢使用date_create和date_diff对象。

代码:

$date1 = date_create("2007-03-24");
$date2 = date_create("2009-06-26");

$dateDifference = date_diff($date1, $date2)->format('%y years, %m months and %d days');

echo $dateDifference;

输出:

2 years, 3 months and 2 days

有关更多信息,请阅读PHP date_diff手册

根据手册date_diff是的别名日期时间::diff()

查看小时、分钟和秒。。

$date1 = "2008-11-01 22:45:00"; 

$date2 = "2009-12-04 13:44:01"; 

$diff = abs(strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1)); 

$years   = floor($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));

$hours   = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24 - $days*60*60*24)/ (60*60)); 

$minuts  = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24 - $days*60*60*24 - $hours*60*60)/ 60); 

$seconds = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24 - $days*60*60*24 - $hours*60*60 - $minuts*60)); 

printf("%d years, %d months, %d days, %d hours, %d minuts\n, %d seconds\n", $years, $months, $days, $hours, $minuts, $seconds); 

我投票支持jurka的答案,因为这是我最喜欢的,但我有一个pre-php.5.3版本。。。

我发现自己在解决一个类似的问题——这就是我最初如何回答这个问题——但只是需要时间上的差异。但我的函数也很好地解决了这个问题,而且我自己的库中没有任何地方可以将它保存在不会丢失和遗忘的地方,所以……希望这对某人有用。

/**
 *
 * @param DateTime $oDate1
 * @param DateTime $oDate2
 * @return array 
 */
function date_diff_array(DateTime $oDate1, DateTime $oDate2) {
    $aIntervals = array(
        'year'   => 0,
        'month'  => 0,
        'week'   => 0,
        'day'    => 0,
        'hour'   => 0,
        'minute' => 0,
        'second' => 0,
    );

    foreach($aIntervals as $sInterval => &$iInterval) {
        while($oDate1 <= $oDate2){ 
            $oDate1->modify('+1 ' . $sInterval);
            if ($oDate1 > $oDate2) {
                $oDate1->modify('-1 ' . $sInterval);
                break;
            } else {
                $iInterval++;
            }
        }
    }

    return $aIntervals;
}

测试:

$oDate = new DateTime();
$oDate->modify('+111402189 seconds');
var_dump($oDate);
var_dump(date_diff_array(new DateTime(), $oDate));

结果是:

object(DateTime)[2]
  public 'date' => string '2014-04-29 18:52:51' (length=19)
  public 'timezone_type' => int 3
  public 'timezone' => string 'America/New_York' (length=16)

array
  'year'   => int 3
  'month'  => int 6
  'week'   => int 1
  'day'    => int 4
  'hour'   => int 9
  'minute' => int 3
  'second' => int 8

我从这里得到了最初的想法,我对其进行了修改以供使用(我希望我的修改也会显示在该页面上)。

通过从$aIntervals数组中删除不需要的间隔(例如“周”),或者添加$aExclude参数,或者在输出字符串时过滤掉它们,可以非常容易地删除它们。

当PHP 5.3(分别为date_diff())不可用时,我使用了我编写的以下函数:

        function dateDifference($startDate, $endDate)
        {
            $startDate = strtotime($startDate);
            $endDate = strtotime($endDate);
            if ($startDate === false || $startDate < 0 || $endDate === false || $endDate < 0 || $startDate > $endDate)
                return false;

            $years = date('Y', $endDate) - date('Y', $startDate);

            $endMonth = date('m', $endDate);
            $startMonth = date('m', $startDate);

            // Calculate months
            $months = $endMonth - $startMonth;
            if ($months <= 0)  {
                $months += 12;
                $years--;
            }
            if ($years < 0)
                return false;

            // Calculate the days
            $measure = ($months == 1) ? 'month' : 'months';
            $days = $endDate - strtotime('+' . $months . ' ' . $measure, $startDate);
            $days = date('z', $days);   

            return array($years, $months, $days);
        }

您可以始终使用以下函数,以年和月为单位返回年龄(即1年4个月)

function getAge($dob, $age_at_date)
{  
    $d1 = new DateTime($dob);
    $d2 = new DateTime($age_at_date);
    $age = $d2->diff($d1);
    $years = $age->y;
    $months = $age->m;

    return $years.'.'.months;
}

或者如果希望在当前日期计算年龄,可以使用

function getAge($dob)
{  
    $d1 = new DateTime($dob);
    $d2 = new DateTime(date());
    $age = $d2->diff($d1);
    $years = $age->y;
    $months = $age->m;

    return $years.'.'.months;
}
