Calculate the number of days between two dates. The order of the dates is irrelevant and any date format supported by http://php.net/strtotime should work.

Hi, Sorry I'm a PHP newbie. Where to put in the two dates and in which format?

Thank you ;)
You can put the dates in any format accepted by http://php.net/strtotime so daysDiff('2016-02-01', '21/11/2011') would work.
It doesn't matter which order you put in the dates. 
1
$days_diff = daysDiff('tomorrow', 'yesterday');
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
and 
1
$days_diff = daysDiff('yesterday', 'tomorrow');
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
will both return the same result (2).
