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;

使用date_diff()尝试这个非常简单的答案,这是经过测试的。

$date1 = date_create("2017-11-27");
$date2 = date_create("2018-12-29");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
$months = $diff->format("%m months");
$years = $diff->format("%y years");
$days = $diff->format("%d days");

echo $years .' '.$months.' '.$days;

输出为:

1 years 1 months 2 days

简单的功能

function time_difference($time_1, $time_2, $limit = null)
{

    $val_1 = new DateTime($time_1);
    $val_2 = new DateTime($time_2);

    $interval = $val_1->diff($val_2);

    $output = array(
        "year" => $interval->y,
        "month" => $interval->m,
        "day" => $interval->d,
        "hour" => $interval->h,
        "minute" => $interval->i,
        "second" => $interval->s
    );

    $return = "";
    foreach ($output AS $key => $value) {

        if ($value == 1)
            $return .= $value . " " . $key . " ";
        elseif ($value >= 1)
            $return .= $value . " " . $key . "s ";

        if ($key == $limit)
            return trim($return);
    }
    return trim($return);
}

像这样使用

回波时间差($time_1,$time_2,“天”);

将返回2年8个月2天

// If you just want to see the year difference then use this function.
// Using the logic I've created you may also create month and day difference
// which I did not provide here so you may have the efforts to use your brain.
// :)
$date1='2009-01-01';
$date2='2010-01-01';
echo getYearDifference ($date1,$date2);
function getYearDifference($date1=strtotime($date1),$date2=strtotime($date2)){
    $year = 0;
    while($date2 > $date1 = strtotime('+1 year', $date1)){
        ++$year;
    }
    return $year;
}

我想带来一个稍微不同的视角,这似乎没有被提及。

你可以用声明的方式解决这个问题(就像任何其他问题一样)。重点是问你需要什么,而不是如何到达那里。

在这里,你需要与众不同。但这有什么不同?这是一个间隔,正如在最受欢迎的答案中所提到的。问题是如何获取它。您可以不显式调用diff()方法,而是按开始日期和结束日期创建一个间隔,即按日期范围:

$startDate = '2007-03-24';
$endDate = '2009-06-26';
$range = new FromRange(new ISO8601DateTime($startDate), new ISO8601DateTime($endDate));

所有诸如闰年之类的复杂问题都已经解决了。现在,当您有一个固定开始日期时间的间隔时,您可以获得一个人类可读的版本:

var_dump((new HumanReadable($range))->value());

它输出的正是你所需要的。

如果您需要一些自定义格式,这也不是问题。您可以使用ISO8601格式化类,该类接受具有六个参数的调用:年、月、日、小时、分钟和秒:

(new ISO8601Formatted(
    new FromRange(
        new ISO8601DateTime('2017-07-03T14:27:39+00:00'),
        new ISO8601DateTime('2018-07-05T14:27:39.235487+00:00')
    ),
    function (int $years, int $months, int $days, int $hours, int $minutes, int $seconds) {
        return $years >= 1 ? 'More than a year' : 'Less than a year';
    }
))
    ->value();

它的产量超过一年。

我建议使用DateTime和DateInterval对象。

$date1 = new DateTime("2007-03-24");
$date2 = new DateTime("2009-06-26");
$interval = $date1->diff($date2);
echo "difference " . $interval->y . " years, " . $interval->m." months, ".$interval->d." days "; 

// shows the total amount of days (not divided into years, months and days like above)
echo "difference " . $interval->days . " days ";

阅读更多php DateTime::diff手册

根据手册:

从PHP 5.2.2开始,DateTime对象可以使用比较运算符进行比较。

$date1 = new DateTime("now");
$date2 = new DateTime("tomorrow");

var_dump($date1 == $date2); // bool(false)
var_dump($date1 < $date2);  // bool(true)
var_dump($date1 > $date2);  // bool(false)
