Simple function to return the number of days in a time span between 2 given dates.
Arguments are long integers as returned by the standard php function mktime().
Arguments can be generated using mktime(), dateEStime(), or
dateAryEStime(mySQLdate2Ary()).
Example:
A simple illustrator to show how the function is used.
Change comment characters on lines indicated to use text code.
The test code can be used singly or multiply.
