The code from Mary is a bit complicated and is wrong (if the locale is not GMT it might produce false result).

The code from Adam is wrong as well as it doesn’t take leap years into account.

function age($year, $month, $day) {
$y = date(‘Y’);
$m = date(‘m’);
$d = date(‘d’);

$age = $y – $year;

if( ($m < $month) || ($m == $month && $d < $day) )
{
$age–;
}

return $age;
}

$intCurrentDateStamp = time();
$intBirthStamp = mktime( 0, 0, 0, 12, 24, 1986 );
$intAge = $intCurrentDateStamp – $intBirthStamp;
echo round( ( ( ( ( $intAge / 60 ) / 60 ) / 24 ) / 365 ) );
