Hi,

I have two fields with an date picker.

date from – to ( <?php the_field('retreat_date_from'); ?> - <?php the_field('retreat_date_to') ?>)
so will will display the count days. in this case 7 days. How can I display the days?

thanks

kind regards
wolfie

Are you trying to get the number of days between the two dates?
if so:

$date_1 = date_create(get_field('retreat_date_from'));
$date_2 = date_create(get_field('retreat_date_to'));
$diff = date_diff($date_1,$date_2);

This will show you the output:

echo "<pre>";
echo $diff->days;
echo "</pre>";

hi bosoxbill,

I solved this with

<?php
  $date_from  = get_field( 'retreat_date_from' );
  $date_to    = get_field( 'retreat_date_to' );

  $date_1     = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_from)));
  $date_2     = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_to)));

  $days       = $date_1->diff($date_2)->days;
?>
