This is one of those problems that sounds easy ... until you get into
it. It is leap years that make it messy. Try this ... it worked on
all the dates I threw at it, and has options for whether you want just
the year or a fraction, and the fraction can be decimal or days:
function age($birthdate) {
// $birthdate can be most any format
$bornUnix = strtotime($birthdate);
$born = getdate($bornUnix);
$todayUnix = time();
$today = getdate();
$last = array('year' => $today['year'], 'mon' => $born['mon'],
'mday'=>$born['mday']);
$next = $last;
if ($today['mon'] < $born['mon']) {
// before birthday
$last['year'] -= 1;
} elseif ($today['mon'] > $born['mon']) {
// after birth month
$next['year'] += 1;
} else {
// in birth month
if ($today['mday'] < $born['mday']) {
// before birthday
$last['year'] -= 1;
} elseif ($today['mday'] > $born['mday']) {
// after birthday
$next['year'] += 1;
} else {
// happy birthday
$next['year'] += 1;
}
}
$age = $last['year'] - $born['year'];
// set $yearFraction to TRUE if you want fractional days
$yearFraction = TRUE;
if ($yearFraction) {
// set $yearDecimals to number of decimals desired
$yearDecimals = 3;
$lastUnix = mktime(0,0,0,$last['mon'],$last['mday'],$last['year']);
$nextUnix = mktime(0,0,0,$next['mon'],$next['mday'],$next['year']);
$daysThisYear = ($nextUnix-$lastUnix)/(24*60*60);
$daysSinceLast = ($todayUnix-$lastUnix)/(24*60*60);
if ($yearDecimals > 0) {
// give decimal fraction
$age += $daysSinceLast/$daysThisYear;
$age = number_format($age,$yearDecimals);
} else {
// give actual fraction
$age .= " " . number_format($daysSinceLast,0) . "/" .
number_format($daysThisYear,0);
}
}
return $age;
}
