Hi Roshan, the following page contains a reference to this article. Great information.

Calculate the difference between two Dates (and time) using Php. The following page provides a range of different methods (7 in total) for performing date / time calculations using Php, to determine the difference in time (hours, munites), days, months or years between two dates.

Hi Roshan,

Calculate How Many Days User Has Stayed With The Book Once She Return It).
I am learning PHP/MySQL, and I am also writting the Library Management
System to make sure that I practice what I am learning.

My Problem is:

I want to capture the date when the library user borrow the book and then
check that date to see if the book have exceeded the number of days (to
calculate how many days user has stayed with the book once she return it).
Please help me how I can do that. I am using mysql as my database.

I think this is better than aboe proposed solution
function daysDifference($endDate, $beginDate)
{
$beginDate = strtotime($beginDate);
$endDate = strtotime($endDate);
$diff = $endDate – $beginDate;
$diff = ceil($diff / (60*60*24)) ;
return $diff;
}

dear val..Julian day Count in PHP supports dates ranging from 4714 B.C. to 9999 A.D so I’ve converted the Gregorian date to Julian day Count in this function.

hi! nice function.. but was just wondering why the function had to convert a Gregorian date to Julian day Count? [sorry.. it's the first time I saw it..]
