This should work:
$firstDate = mktime( 0, 0, 0, 1, 12, 2001 );
$secondDate = date( "U" );
$daysInBetween = ( $secondDate - $firstDate ) / 86400;

Why do you say that? I just tested it and it worked.
It returned:
"115.31296296296"
"115" being the number of days
".31296296296" is the fraction of the day that is the
difference of hours between the two times.
mktime() and date( "U" ) return a unix timestamp

printf(); or sprintf(); is your friend

Yes, there is.

What I generally do is this:
if(( !$result ) || ( mysql_errno() > 0 )) {
// error code here
}
OR
Sample code:
$array = array( "one", "two", "three" );
while( list( $key, $val ) = each( $array )) {
if( is_string( $key )) {
echo "Key is a string\n";
}
echo "Key: $key => $val :Val\n";
}
echo "\n\n";
$array = array( "SS" => "one", "15" => "two", "19" =>

Because if it is a string, more than likely it means that the key
was user defined and is not PHP defined as an element number.
Again, consider the differences between these two arrays:

Take a look at file(); and just loop through the resulting array
and removing all the blank elements.

after you merge the arrays, use asort();

printf() / sprintf() is your friend.
Chris
> Yeah, but what if they don't JUST want to print it...
Umm, have you read the documentation on either of
the functions? They both return a string; they don't
send anything to standard out (like echo or print does).
$myString = printf();
$myString = sprintf();
echo $myString;

I *believe* (could be wrong) what you want is this:
print ${$sql_1};
Check out variable variables in the dox.
