How can I tell the number of days between a date variable and today?
For example, is there something like:

var nDays = dDateVariable - now();

?

Try this:

<?php
$startDate = "2006-05-01";
$endDate = date("Y-m-d");

$diffInSec = strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate);
$diffInDays = $diffInSec/60/60/24;

echo $diffInDays;
?>

Hope this helps.

Thanks and God Bless!!
