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 3^rd of april.

Just make sure that from date is lesser that end_date otherwise the loop will run forever which is a bug.
