<?php
    $today = strtotime("2011-02-03 00:00:00");

我在PHP5.2中遇到了同样的问题，并用MySQL解决了这个问题。可能并不是你想要的，但这会奏效，并返回天数：

$datediff_q = $dbh->prepare("SELECT DATEDIFF(:date2, :date1)");
$datediff_q->bindValue(':date1', '2007-03-24', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$datediff_q->bindValue(':date2', '2009-06-26', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$datediff = ($datediff_q->execute()) ? $datediff_q->fetchColumn(0) : false;

一便士一英镑：我刚刚回顾了几个解决方案，所有这些方案都使用floor（）提供了一个复杂的解决方案，然后四舍五入到26年12个月零2天的解决方案中，原本应该是25年11个月零20天！！！！

这是我对这个问题的看法：可能不优雅，可能编码不好，但如果不计算LEAP年份，则提供了更接近答案的答案，显然闰年可以编码为，但在这种情况下-正如其他人所说，也许您可以提供以下答案：我已经包含了所有测试条件和print_r，以便您可以更清楚地看到结果的构造：在这里，

//设置输入日期/变量：：

$ISOstartDate   = "1987-06-22";
$ISOtodaysDate = "2013-06-22";

//我们需要将ISO yyyy-mm-dd格式分解为yyyy-mm-d格式，如下所示：

$yDate[]=爆炸（'-'，$ISOstartDate）；print_r（$yDate）；

$zDate[]=爆炸（'-'，$ISOtodaysDate）；print_r（$zDate）；

// Lets Sort of the Years!
// Lets Sort out the difference in YEARS between startDate and todaysDate ::
$years = $zDate[0][0] - $yDate[0][0];

// We need to collaborate if the month = month = 0, is before or after the Years Anniversary ie 11 months 22 days or 0 months 10 days...
if ($months == 0 and $zDate[0][1] > $ydate[0][1]) {
    $years = $years -1;
}
// TEST result
echo "\nCurrent years => ".$years;

// Lets Sort out the difference in MONTHS between startDate and todaysDate ::
$months = $zDate[0][1] - $yDate[0][1];

// TEST result
echo "\nCurrent months => ".$months;

// Now how many DAYS has there been - this assumes that there is NO LEAP years, so the calculation is APPROXIMATE not 100%
// Lets cross reference the startDates Month = how many days are there in each month IF m-m = 0 which is a years anniversary
// We will use a switch to check the number of days between each month so we can calculate days before and after the years anniversary

switch ($yDate[0][1]){
    case 01:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Jan
    case 02:    $monthDays = '28';  break;  // Feb
    case 03:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Mar
    case 04:    $monthDays = '30';  break;  // Apr
    case 05:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // May
    case 06:    $monthDays = '30';  break;  // Jun
    case 07:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Jul
    case 08:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Aug
    case 09:    $monthDays = '30';  break;  // Sept
    case 10:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Oct
    case 11:    $monthDays = '30';  break;  // Nov
    case 12:    $monthDays = '31';  break;  // Dec
};
// TEST return
echo "\nDays in start month ".$yDate[0][1]." => ".$monthDays;


// Lets correct the problem with 0 Months - is it 11 months + days, or 0 months +days???

$days = $zDate[0][2] - $yDate[0][2] +$monthDays;
echo "\nCurrent days => ".$days."\n";

// Lets now Correct the months to being either 11 or 0 Months, depending upon being + or - the years Anniversary date 
// At the same time build in error correction for Anniversary dates not being 1yr 0m 31d... see if ($days == $monthDays )
if($days < $monthDays && $months == 0)
    {
    $months = 11;       // If Before the years anniversary date
    }
else    {
    $months = 0;        // If After the years anniversary date
    $years = $years+1;  // Add +1 to year
    $days = $days-$monthDays;   // Need to correct days to how many days after anniversary date
    };
// Day correction for Anniversary dates
if ($days == $monthDays )   // if todays date = the Anniversary DATE! set days to ZERO
    {
    $days = 0;          // days set toZERO so 1 years 0 months 0 days
    };

    echo "\nTherefore, the number of years/ months/ days/ \nbetween start and todays date::\n\n";

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

最终结果是：26年零个月零天

这就是我在2013年6月22日做生意的时间——哎呦！

非常简单：

    <?php
        $date1 = date_create("2007-03-24");
        echo "Start date: ".$date1->format("Y-m-d")."<br>";
        $date2 = date_create("2009-06-26");
        echo "End date: ".$date2->format("Y-m-d")."<br>";
        $diff = date_diff($date1,$date2);
        echo "Difference between start date and end date: ".$diff->format("%y years, %m months and %d days")."<br>";
    ?>

PHP:date_diff-手动

注意，它适用于PHP 5.3.0或更高版本。

// 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;
}

我在下面的页面上找到了您的文章，其中包含了许多PHP日期时间计算的参考。

使用PHP计算两个日期（和时间）之间的差异。下一页提供了一系列不同的方法（共7种），用于使用PHP执行日期/时间计算，以确定两个日期之间的时间差（小时、弹药）、天、月或年。
