How to add a simple number that shows how many days has passed?

  • I was trying to display a single number that shows how many days our organization has been established.

    e.g. assume we started at 5/12/2014, and it will shows “2” today. If I visit it on tmr, 5/14/2014, it will show “3”.

    can this be solved by a short piece of php or html?

    thanks.

  • Try this:

    $date_one = new DateTime("2014-05-12");
$date_two = new DateTime("now");
$daydiff = $date_one->diff($date_two);
if ($daydiff->days == 1) {
    $my_day = " day.";
} else {
    $my_day = " days.";
}
echo "We've been established for " . $daydiff->days . $my_day;

    Thanks a lot.

    Though I know nothing about php, here’s my try:

    <html>
  <div align="center">
  We have been here for
  <br/>
  <br/>
  <br/>
  <?php
    date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
    $date_one = new DateTime("2014-03-05");
    $date_two = new DateTime("now");
    $daydiff = date_diff($date_one, $date_two);
    echo $daydiff->days;
  ?>
  <br/>
  <br/>
  days
  </div>
</html>

    it works on online version of php ( like this one https://www.compileonline.com/execute_php_online.php )

    but it doesn’t work on my blog.

    the display on my blog is like this:

    We have been here for 

days; ?> 

days

    any ideas?
