This template returns the number of days between two dates. Dates may be input either as full dates or as year, month and day.

Usage

Full dates

To use, type:

{{age in days|date1|date2}}	(number of days between dates 1 and 2),
{{age in days|date1}}	(number of days since date 1) or
{{age in days||date2}}	(number of days until date 2)

Examples:

{{age in days|19 Aug 2008|4 Sep 2010}}	gives <?php $now = time(); // or your date as well $your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01"); $datediff = $now - $your_date; echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)); ?>
{{age in days|27 May 2002}}	gives <?php $now = time(); // or your date as well $your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01"); $datediff = $now - $your_date; echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)); ?>
{{age in days||{{#time:j M Y|+ 15 months}}}}	gives <?php $now = time(); // or your date as well $your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01"); $datediff = $now - $your_date; echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)); ?>

Year, month and day

To use, type:

{{age in days|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}}	(number of days between dates 1 and 2),
{{age in days|year1|month1|day1}}	(number of days since date 1) or
{{age in days||||year2|month2|day2}}	(number of day until date 2)

Or with named parameters:

{{age in days|month1= |day1= |year1= |month2= |day2= | year2= }}	(number of days between dates 1 and 2),
{{age in days|month1= |day1= |year1= }}	(number of days since date 1) or
{{age in days|month2= |day2= | year2= }}	(number of day until date 2)

Examples:

{{age in days|2007|5|24|2008|4|23}}	gives <?php $now = time(); // or your date as well $your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01"); $datediff = $now - $your_date; echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)); ?>
{{age in days|2007|5|24}}	gives <?php $now = time(); // or your date as well $your_date = strtotime("2010-01-01"); $datediff = $now - $your_date; echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24)); ?>

Sorting

By adding |{{SAFESUBST:#if:sortable|sortable=}}on a sort key will be added to the output for use in sortable tables.

Formatting

Three styles of formatting are possible.

format=}}raw	gives unformatted numbers with hyphens as minus signs (for use in further calculations).
format=}}commas	gives numbers formatted with commas and true minus signs.

For reasons of retrospective compatibility, the default when inputting dates as year, month and day is |{{SAFESUBST:#if:format|format=}}raw; however when inputting dates in full it is |{{SAFESUBST:#if:format|format=}}commas.

Note

Showing the unit

The default is not to show units. To show the unit ("day", days" or "d") use |{{SAFESUBST:#if:show unit|show unit=}}.

show unit=}}abbr	adds "d" after the number of days.
show unit=}}full	adds "day" or "days" after the number of days as appropriate.
