Age through date

I want to calculate the age of the date in years, months and days.

An example could be:

15-sep-1997
You're 10 years 2 months and 25 days old.

5-Nov-2007
You're 5 days old.

10-Oct-2007
You're 1 month old.

Do you want to calculate it based on the date provided and the current date (as in now), and subtract the two? Then output them separately( Years: Months: Days: )

A good starting point might be Wildhoney's Calculating an Age from Date of Birth topic. :)

Yes, that's true. :)

Hey, this may not be what you EXACTLY need, but maybe you can expand on it:

PHP Code:


		
			
//--------------------

// Generate age based on user's birthday

//--------------------

function getage($_dob) {

    $dob = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_dob));

    $ageparts = explode("-", $dob);

        

    $age = date("Y-m-d") - $dob;

        

    return (date("nd") < $ageparts[1] . str_pad($ageparts[2], 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT)) ? $age -= 1 : $age;

}

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:43 AM.
