Video Description
Hello
viewers, In this video I shall make a program to find days between
two dates in PHP language.
SO
as you can see, I have created one file which has a form.
I
shall create a php file where we receive dates from input boxes.
I
shall paste that file name in action attribute of form.
Let’s
display the output first.
Everything
is fine.
Now
I shall receive the second date.
Day_counts
variable is not that important at the end of program but.
I
shall create a while loop and I need day-count variable just for
testing.
So
I shall break the loop when day-count reaches to 10.
It
means the loop is working fine.
Now
you can see the pattern of date, where Year comes first, then month
then date.
So
I shall overwrite the from_date variable and first convert that in
date with pattern. Which is Y (dash) M (dash) D, then in second
argument I shall convert from_date into time.
In
short, first_date is in string, so I am first converting it in time
and then in date.
We
want next day after each loop, the type (dot) then in double quote,
type +1 days.
Now
we are hopping to the next days.
Now
instead of days_count==10, what we want is if from_date== to_date so
just change the condition.
So
it means, we are jumping on each date but we have to stop when it
reaches to end_date.
We
are skipping the first day so just type echo in first lines.
Even
when we select next month as end_date, it will work buecause of the
inbuild program.
So
lest test it, march has 31 days and end date will be 3rd
of april.
Just
make sure that from date is lesser that end_date otherwise the loop
will run forever which is a bug.
