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

// 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

$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（）

这是可运行的代码

$date1 = date_create('2007-03-24');
$date2 = date_create('2009-06-26');
$diff1 = date_diff($date1,$date2);
$daysdiff = $diff1->format("%R%a");
$daysdiff = abs($daysdiff);

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
