How to count age?

[Anna]

How can I count the difference between two dates? ( I can't change
them into Unix format using mktime(), because in my database are also
people born before 1970). Are there any alternative functions?

Maybe this helps?

Never tried it, can't tell if it does.

Why not just get the year from the date field and then to some simple math
(substraction). ..

sure you can, here is an example:

$t = time() - 10000000000;
print date("F j, Y, g:i a",$t)."\n";

this will print something around: 1959

I also have a snippet that adjust from time servers 1900 based vs date()
1970 based.
