How to subtract the current date from the date and get the number of months of difference between them?

$date = 02.12.2019;
 now = date('d.m.Y');
$d2 = strtotime($date);
$d1 = strtotime($now);
$diff = $d2-$d1;

Answer 1

Something like this for example

$now = new DateTime('now');
$date = new DateTime('2019-05-01');
$diff = $now->diff($date);
$interval = $diff->format('%m');
