I’ve posted the code on my ISP’s website at http://www.sensical.net/bb/viewtopic.php?t=219

Have fun!
Ian.

Hmm it seems to have cut off the code from my post, continuing …

int lDayDiff = lToDay – lFromDay;

if( lDayDiff

Hi Chris,

Firstly, thanks for your DateDiff code. I’ve been successfully using it for a while in the invoice code for the Sensical.net website control panel.

Now the bad news :-(
I’ve found a problem when diffing between 10-Jan-2005 and 9-Jan-2006 – the algorithm returns -1,11,30 when it should return 0,11,30. I cannot post a fix, sorry, because I don’t fully understand the code. However, I have found alternative code which I paste below – I hope this is some help!

Ian.

public static int[] getDiff( Calendar from, Calendar to )
{
System.err.println( “Calc diff from ” + from.getTime() + ” to ” + to.getTime() );

int lFromYear = from.get( Calendar.YEAR );
int lFromMonth = from.get( Calendar.MONTH );
int lFromDay = from.get( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH );

int lToYear = to.get( Calendar.YEAR );
int lToMonth = to.get( Calendar.MONTH );
int lToDay = to.get( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH );

int lYearDiff = lToYear – lFromYear;
int lMonthDiff = lToMonth – lFromMonth;
int lDayDiff = lToDay – lFromDay;

if( lDayDiff

Could you write a “calendar” code for getting together to actually celebrate those birthdays, anniversary etc. ??? : ^)
