How do I get difference between them in PHP?

I tried code below

Answer 1

You can simply do this

 <?php
 $date1 = "may 1994";
 $date2 = "august 1997";
 $diff = strtotime($date2)-strtotime($date1);
 $days = $diff / (60*60*24*1);
 echo "days :". $days;
 ?>

Answer 2

$date1 = new DateTime("may 1994"); //$experience[$i]->StartWork
$date2 = new DateTime("august 1997"); //$experience[$i]->EndWork
$interval = $date1->diff($date2);


echo "days diff = " . $interval->days ;
