Calculate age based on date of birth

Very small code to get Age:

<?php
    $dob='1981-10-07';
    $diff = (date('Y') - date('Y',strtotime($dob)));
    echo $diff;
?>

//output 35

Got this script from net (thanks to coffeecupweb)

<?php
/**
 * Simple PHP age Calculator
 * 
 * Calculate and returns age based on the date provided by the user.
 * @param   date of birth('Format:yyyy-mm-dd').
 * @return  age based on date of birth
 */
function ageCalculator($dob){
    if(!empty($dob)){
        $birthdate = new DateTime($dob);
        $today   = new DateTime('today');
        $age = $birthdate->diff($today)->y;
        return $age;
    }else{
        return 0;
    }
}
$dob = '1992-03-18';
echo ageCalculator($dob);
?>

PHP ^{>= 5.3.0}

# object oriented
$from = new DateTime('1970-02-01');
$to   = new DateTime('today');
echo $from->diff($to)->y;

# procedural
echo date_diff(date_create('1970-02-01'), date_create('today'))->y;
