which is completely correct.
with date as you use it up there you only generate numerical values in a
format you specify, and then you substract those numericals from each
other, echoing the rest of 8876

I think if you want to get the number of days you have to
1) substract the mktime values you used in the date statement to get
the difference in seconds
2) count how many days you have with this amount of seconds by dividing
the seconds through 86400
date is a function to give you representations of a date and time at any
given moment as expressed in unix time in a lot of different,
configurable formats. after you generated a date representation with
date, the program doesn't know anything at all about the date/time
meanings of that string or number.
