how to find number of days between two dates code example

Example 1: How to calculate the difference between two dates

$datetime1 	= new DateTime('2020-10-11 16:52:52');
$datetime2 	= new DateTime('2020-10-13 16:52:52');
$interval 	= $datetime1->diff($datetime2);

echo $interval->format('%a days');

Example 2: get days between two dates

// new Date("dateString") is browser-dependent and discouraged, so we'll write
// a simple parse function for U.S. date format (which does no error checking)
function parseDate(str) {
    var mdy = str.split('/');
    return new Date(mdy[2], mdy[0]-1, mdy[1]);
}

function datediff(first, second) {
    // Take the difference between the dates and divide by milliseconds per day.
    // Round to nearest whole number to deal with DST.
    return Math.round((second-first)/(1000*60*60*24));
}

alert(datediff(parseDate(first.value), parseDate(second.value)));
