I am currently using the following PHP code to check date of birth, the code uses the american mm/dd/yyyy although I’m trying to change it to the british dd/mm/yyyy.
I was hoping someone could tell me what to change:
function dateDiff($dformat, $endDate, $beginDate) { $date_parts1=explode($dformat, $beginDate); $date_parts2=explode($dformat, $endDate); $start_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts1[0], $date_parts1[1], $date_parts1[2]); $end_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts2[0], $date_parts2[1], $date_parts2[2]); return $end_date - $start_date; } //Enter date of birth below in MM/DD/YYYY $dob="04/15/1993"; echo round(dateDiff("/", date("m/d/Y", time()), $dob)/365, 0) . " years.";

Answer
the explode is breaking up the string into an array, it is using the / as the separator.
So for us dates you would get
$date_parts1[0] = 04 $date_parts1[1] = 15 $date_parts1[2] = 1993
what you want is to swap the values at index 0 and 1.
try this:
$start_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts1[1], $date_parts1[0], $date_parts1[2]); $end_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts2[1], $date_parts2[0], $date_parts2[2]);
Edit, added correction from comment: also change the last line to
echo round(dateDiff("/", date("d/m/Y", time()), $dob)/365, 0) . " years.";
