August 11, 2008
//function that will count days
function countdays($date1, $date2){
$days = abs(strtotime($date1)-strtotime($date2)) / 86400;
return $days;
}
//lets assign values
$date1 = '2008-08-17';
$date2 = '2008-08-12';
echo countdays($date1, $date2); //executes our function

by the way, there is a typo in your code:
echo countdays($date1, date2); //executes our function
date2 should be $date2
