[Solved] Difference Between 2 Dates in Weeks in PHP

I’m trying to get something nerdy done
for http://www.DigitalNomad.Pro …

… something really simple.

So I thought.

Difference Between 2 Dates in Weeks

That doesn’t seem to be easy to do in PHP < 5.3.

And yes it has to be used on webservers prior to version 5.3 of PHP as well.

Been Googling for a hour and seen all them the wonderful solutions.

It should be just be possible right with a few lines instead of a whole page of code, right? Wrong.

So then it hit me. Forget about weeks! I can calculate the difference in seconds between two dates and then divide by (60*60*24*7)!
