Answer / richa
Something we must know about strtotime
(try putting up a date grater than 30 years)
yes it will give an unexpected output, because it uses, unix
timestamp, and thus doesnt treat a date greater than 30 yrs,
as a correct value.

Answer / savvy
"The function expects to be given a string containing a US
English date format and will try to parse that format into a
Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970
00:00:00 GMT), relative to the timestamp given in now, or
the current time if none is supplied." --- in php.net So Be
careful when calculating with strtotime(). Therefore in the
above ans it might be like this way
$date1 = date('M-d-Y');
$date2 = "August-07-2007";

Answer / sachin
If we know the date format and separator used in dates,
we can separate them out into day, month and year.
e.g.
$d1 = '29-12-1985'; //dd-mm-yyyy
$d2 = '31-12-1985'; //dd-mm-yyyy
$d1_pieces = explode('-',$d1);
$d2_pieces = explode('-',$d2);
$timestamp_d1 =
mktime(0,0,0,$d1_pieces[1],$d1_pieces[0],$d1_pieces[2],);
$timestamp_d2 =
mktime(0,0,0,$d2_pieces[1],$d2_pieces[0],$d2_pieces[2],);
$diff = $d1-$d2;
$num_days = $diff/(24*60*60);
