Nowforsomecommentsaboutthese.
1.Theseresultsreturnintegernumberofyears,months,anddays.Theyare"floored."Thus,1.4dayswoulddisplayas1day,and13.9yearswoulddisplayas13
years.Likewise,1.4yearswoulddisplayas1year,and13.9monthswoulddisplayas13months.
2.NotethatIusebooleanexpressionsinmanycases.Becausebooleanexpressionsevaluateto0or1,Icanusethemtosubtractoradd1fromthetotalbasedona

Forexample,tocalculatethenumberofyearsbetweentodates,firstsimplysubtracttheyears.Theproblemisthatdoingsoisn'talwayscorrect.Considerthenumber
ofyearsbetweenJuly1,1950andMay1,1952.Technically,thereisonlyonefullyearbetweenthem.OnJuly1,1952andlater,therewillbetwoyears.Therefore,
youshouldsubtractoneyearincasethedatehasn'tyetreachedafullyear.Thisisdonebycheckingtheifthesecondmonthdayisbeforethefirstmonth

datesintheoppositeorder,andwemustnotaddorsubtractanythingwhenthedifferenceofthedateyearsiszero.
3.Togetthemonthday,IuseMID.Thisisbetter

IhadaproblemwithmyloginscriptusingPHPandMySQLwhendaylightsavingstime(DST)camearoundthisyear.
IwasusingMYSQLNOW()functiontoaddthecurrentdateandtimetotheuser'srecordintoadatetimefield.WhenDSTcameintoeffectnewlyenteredlogintimes
wereanhourslow(I'minEST).Sincethelastloginistobeupdatedonlyifanhourormorehaspassedsincethelastloginthiswasabigproblem!
TheproblemisthatPHPtakesDSTintoaccountandMySQLdoesnot(asfarasIknow)andIwasenteringthetimeusingMySQL'sNOW()functionandthen
comparingthevaluereturnedbyPHP'stime()function.
Averysimplesolutiontothisisthefollowing.NotethePHPtimeformatstring'YmdHis'itformatstoYYYYMMDDHHMMSSwhichiswhatMySQLexpectsfora
date/timefield.
$now=time()
15/42
6/12/2014
$lastLogin=strtotime($row['lastLogin'])
$diff=$now$lastLogin
$now=date('YmdHis',$now)
if($diff>3600){//3600secondsis1hour
$query='UPDATEmembersSETlogins=logins+1,lastLogin='.$now.'WHEREmemberID='.$SEC_ID
mysql_query($query)
}
NowthedateenteredisthePHPtime(thataccountsforDST)andwearecomparingittoPHPtimesoalliswell.
IthinkthisapproachwillworkwellforanytimeyouwishtoenteradateintoMySQLusingPHP.Justformatthedateusingthe"YmdHis"formatstringandusethe
strtotime()functiontoreadadateretrievedfromMySQL.
Theadvantagetothisapproachratherthanjustenteringthe"normal"PHPdateintoacharortextfieldisthatthedatesare"human"readableinthetableandallthe

WhatIfounduniqueaboutthisproblemisthattheYEAR(ofbirth)willalwaysbedifferentandhenceonecannotsimplyuseaquerylike:
|SELECT*FROM`friends`WHERE

becauseitwouldtaketheyearintoconsideration.
Thecorrectway,Ibelieve,togetthedesiredresultisasfollows:
|SELECT*FROM`friends`WHERE(
|EXTRACT(MONTHFROM`birthday`)=EXTRACT(MONTHFROM
|CURDATE())
|AND
|DAYOFMONTH(`birthday`)>=DAYOFMONTH(CURDATE())
|AND
|DAYOFMONTH(`birthday`)<=(DAYOFMONTH(CURDATE())+15)

|ADDDATE(CURDATE(),INTERVAL15DAY))
|AND
|DAYOFMONTH(`birthday`)<=DAYOFMONTH(ADDDATE(CURDATE(),
|INTERVAL15DAY))

TwothingstokeepinmindwhenusingtheTIMESTAMPDIFFfunction:
1.Thefunctionreturnsatruncatedintegerofthespecifiedunit.ItdoesNOTusetheunittodeterminetheprecisionofthedifferencecalculation.Forexample,you
mightexpect
SELECTTIMESTAMPDIFF(MONTH,'20100331','20100430')
toreturn1,asthedifferencebetween'201003'and'201004'.However,becausethedifference(includingthedays)isnotquiteafullmonth,itreturns0,not1.
2.Inversion5.0,theunityouspecifydetermineswhetherthecalculationincludesthetimeelements.WhenusingtheYEARorMONTHunits,thefunctionusesthe
dateelements(year,monthandday)inthecomparison,butignoresthetimeelements.Forexample,
SELECTTIMESTAMPDIFF(MONTH,'2010030100:00:00','2010040100:00:00')
and
bothreturn1,while
returns0.
However,ifyouuseDAYastheunit,alldateandtimeelementsareincludedinthecalculation.Thus,
SELECTTIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY,'2010032900:00:00','2010033000:00:00')
returns1,while
SELECTTIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY,'2010032900:00:01','2010033000:00:00')
returns0.
Inversion5.1,thefunctionincludesthetimeelementsinallcalculations.(Mytestingwasdoneinversions5.0.75and5.1.30)
Thisfunctionworksfineforcalculationsonthetimepartofatimestampbutforworkingwiththedatepart,ImuchpreferusingtheYEAR,PERIOD_DIFF,orTO_DAYS
functions.

Ifyou'redoingagecalculations,wouldn'tyoubebetteroffusing
TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR,date1,date2)?
Itrieditanditworkslikeacharm.Itestedanagecalculationagainsttoday'sdate,20130212,usingthebirthdates19110212(birthdaytoday)and19110213

Ifyouhaveaqueueandyouwanttofindouttheaveragetimeinwhichanitemgetsprocessed,youcanusethissnippet(that'swhatweuseforadashboardinour
http://yasno.tv/project).
Ifyouhaveatableofqueueditemswith`created_atàndùpdated_at`datetimefieldsthatrepresentwhenanitemwasaddedandwhenitwasupdated(processed)
accordingly.So,
[code]
SELECTSEC_TO_TIME(AVG(TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(ùpdated_at`,`created_at`))))ASaverage_item_time
FROM`mail_queue_item`
[/code]
showssomethinglike"00:02:30"whichmeansaverageidletimeis2.5minutesperitem.
