Know how many days miss for the day X

[romzinho2k7]

People would like their help

I want to do a script that I show me how many days miss for X. date I tried of the following form:

<?php
$date_today = date("m/d/Y");
$date_final = date("m/d/Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 04, 20, 2007));
echo $data_final - $data_today;
?>

But the value always returned is zero.

Would anybody know how to do that?

Sorry my english.

Thanks

Hello,

You can't really subtract two strings. Instead, something like this would work:

$date_today = [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php]time[/url](); #current time (if not use mktime)
$date_final = [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php]mktime[/url](0, 0, 0, 4, 20, 2007);
$seconds = $date_final - $date_today;
echo ($seconds/86400).' days'; #86,400 seconds in one day

Good luck! :)
