Calculate the number of months between two dates in PHP?

by 
$date1 = '2000-01-25';
$date2 = '2010-02-20';

$ts1 = strtotime($date1);
$ts2 = strtotime($date2);

$year1 = date('Y', $ts1);
$year2 = date('Y', $ts2);

$month1 = date('m', $ts1);
$month2 = date('m', $ts2);

$diff = (($year2 - $year1) * 12) + ($month2 - $month1);

You may want to include the days somewhere too, depending on whether you mean whole months or not. Hope you get the idea though.
