getAge() with wrong return - sprhld - 02-04-2022
Hello!
I have to check the age in my app and I use getAge() and get a wrong age. I'm in Germany, so I use German dates here:
PHP Code:
$bt2 = Time::parse($this->request->getVar('geburtstag'));
echo $bt2->getAge()
The dates in "geburtstag" are 05.02.2008 and 03.02.2008. Today is the 04.02.2008. But both datas returns the same age 14.
What do I not see here?

See https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/ec146df8bcbdc50b126106ed5ebacc77bac369df/system/I18n/Time.php#L461-L468
It seems it considers only year.

How do you calculate the age of someone?

@kenjis,
If he is getting the users age should he not be using a date type method?

And that's maybe wrong, because it's not the age, it's just the year.

For me it is a little bit wired, if I have to work with time and date. So much different ways, some provided by PHP, some by CI.
Now I upgrade an other helper, which I use to calculate date-time-diffs and it works correctly. It's actually very easy ;-) Do now wonder, it was designed to use this as my favorite diff-helper and it should to more as this helper do right now.
PHP Code:
function dateTimeDiff($older, $newer, $return = 'SEC')
{
$date = new DateTime($older);
$now = new DateTime($newer);
$diff = 0;
switch ($return)
{
case ('SEC'):
{
$hourMulti = 60;
$dayMulti = 1440;
// Minutes
$diff = $diff + $date->diff($now)->s;
// Hours
$diff = $diff + $date->diff($now)->i * $hourMulti;
// Days
$diff = $diff + $date->diff($now)->days * $dayMulti;
break;
}
case ('YEAR'):
{
$diff = $date->diff($now);
break;
}
}
return $diff;
}
