try to do it manually, see if it produces the same result, if not there may be somethings b0rked with abs, don't quite know what mind you, but just limit the possible avenues of error.

PHP Code:


			
function negToPos ($i)
{
    return $i < 0 ? -$i : $i;
}
$startDate = "20 September 2000";
$endDate = "10 September 2000";
$test = negToPos(ceil((strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate)) / 86400));
echo $test;

gives me, int 10 (as does the original abs() implementation)
