# days between dates

Is it possible to get the number of days between two dates formatted in this way: June 19, 2004 9:06 PM? Thanks in advance

Look into converting the date to a Unix friendly date with strtotime() then dividing the difference by the number of seconds in a day.

And then you may want to format/round the number to 0, 1 or 2 decimal points using sprintf() or round()
