Meant the previous post to read "4 months prior to current date", not "past current date". But you get the point.

Check this bad boy out:

function DateComp($sDateA, $sDateB_ForInterval, $sInterval, $bUseTimeStamps = FALSE) {
$sFormat = ($bUseTimeStamps) ? 'Y-m-d H:i:s' : 'Y-m-d';
$sDateA = (($sDateA == '') || (empty($sDateA))) ? gmdate($sFormat) : $sDateA;
$dDateA = strtotime(date($sFormat, strtotime($sDateA)));
$sDateB = $sDateB_ForInterval;
$sDateB = (($sDateB == '') || (empty($sDateB))) ? gmdate($sFormat) : $sDateB;
$dDateB = strtotime(date($sFormat, strtotime($sDateB)));
$dTempDate = strtotime($sInterval, $dDateB);
return ($dTempDate > $dDateA);
}

/*

// USAGE OF DateComp:
$sDBDate = '2007-10-15 23:16:28';
$sCurrDate = gmdate('Y-m-d');
if (DateComp($sDBDate, $sCurrDate, '- 4 months')) {
echo "DB date value is older than 4 months past current date.";
} else {
echo "DB date value is newer than 4 months past current date.";
}
*/

You know, I don't see why this has to be so complicated. I mean, lest we forget that the strtotime function has the ability to add or subtract any interval of time you want with its first optional parameter. So you could compare differences between dates quite easily with it.

It doesn't involve parsing the dates, which consumes precious processor time, and the function runs at C-level for things you would be running at PHP-level with a function like the one used here at ilovejackdaniels.com.

I found the mistake in the number of weekdays case :

It's written :
$weeks_difference = floor($days_difference / 7);

Replace with :
If(abs($days_difference) >= 7) {
$weeks_difference = floor($days_difference / 7);
}
Else {
$weeks_difference = 0;
}
