note 78077 added to function.mktime

I've been using the mktime() function to calculate
difference between dates. It works fine to me until I need
to do calculation in more wide dates, like 01/01/2070.

There will be a huge problem to all those that use
timestamps to calculate dates after
2038-01-19T03:14:08+0000Z (like posted by PHPCoder).

I got a code from "google" (thanx to Amrit Hallan)
that can successfully calculate the difference *in days*
between two dates.

<?php
function dateDiff($dformat, $endDate, $beginDate) {
	$date_parts1=explode($dformat, $beginDate);
	$date_parts2=explode($dformat, $endDate);
	$start_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts1[0], $date_parts1[1],
$date_parts1[2]);
	$end_date=gregoriantojd($date_parts2[0], $date_parts2[1],
$date_parts2[2]);
	return $end_date - $start_date;
}
?>

You can use it like these:

<?php
echo dateDiff("/", "01/31/2070",
"01/31/2000");
?>

It should returns 25568 (days between).

I wish that help.
