If you need to find the age of somebody with the date of birth,here is a simple function for that. .

We assume that all the functions will be saved in a file called php_functions.php

<?php
function age($date_of_birth){
$dob =date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_of_birth));
$age = date('Y') - date('Y', strtotime($dob));
if (date('md') < date('md', strtotime($dob))) {
$age--;
}
return $age;
}
?>

Explaining the above function is quite simple, as you can see ,it has only 1 parameter
$date_of_birth is where you enter the date of birth of the person.It must be in this format: d-mm-yyyy or mm/d/yyyy

$dob =date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_of_birth));This line of code gets the given date in the correct format

$age = date('Y') - date('Y', strtotime($dob));$age will hold the result of the difference between today's year and the year of DOB

if (date('md') < date('md', strtotime($dob))) {
$age--;
} if today's day is not your birthday yet, this line of code will subtract 1 year from your age.

See the example below to use the function

<?php
include 'php_functions.php';

$age=age('2-09-1950');

echo $age
//if today's date is 10 Sep 2009 will output 58

// if today's date is 22 Sep 2009 will output 59
?>

Try the example below

Your date of birth d-mm-yyyy or mm/d/yyyy
Your age is
