[PHP3] Time difference question From: Alan Wicks (aswicks <email protected>)
Date: 03/11/99

Greetings,

I need to know when a record should be removed. The default
is after 35 days. So, I used

        $now = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));

to determine what the date is now.

I then used:

$fromnow = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+35,date("Y"));

to know when 35 days is from now.

But, when I look at $difference = ($fromnow - $now)/86400
 //86400 is the number of seconds in a day
the answer is always something like 34.958 days. Why not
35?

Thanks,

Alan Wicks
