I have this php code to get the difference between two dates:

$date1=date_create("01.06.2021");
$date2=date_create("05.06.2021");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
echo $diff->format("%R%a");

Result:

+4

But how can I realize this, wenn the format of $date1 is for example: 20210605T180000

Have you tried using the code you already have with `20210605T180000`? – gen_Eric Jun 03 '21 at 20:03

I agree with @Rocket Hazmat. The code should be working and `date_create` should be parsing it – MoPaMo Jun 03 '21 at 20:04

I've tested it now , it works just fine? – MoPaMo Jun 03 '21 at 20:06
okay the problem is that the $date2 should be the today date in this format "20210605T180000". But how ? :/ – Ghost108 Jun 03 '21 at 20:12
@Ghost108 `$date2 = date_create();` will get you the current date/time. – gen_Eric Jun 03 '21 at 20:13
