Retrieving date difference php

I would like to count the date difference which the user select from the datepicker through $_POST. Both $from and $to returns date picked by the user from the form but the date_diff and other user's method wouldn't work, thus posting this. I am only interested in the date, so time is not important for me.

This is my code:

$from = $_POST['dateFrom'];
$to = $_POST['dateTo'];

echo $from; 
echo $to; 

$newFrom = strtotime($from);
$newFormatFrom = date('m-d-Y',$newFrom);

$newTo = strtotime($to);
$newFormatTo = date('m-d-Y',$newTo);    

$dateDiff = date_diff($newFormatFrom, $newFormatTo);

<?php

 $from = strtotime($_POST['dateFrom']);
 $to = strtotime($_POST['dateTo']);
 $datediff = $to - $from;
 echo floor($datediff/(60*60*24));

?>

$noofdays = (strtotime($to)-strtotime($from))/(60*60*24);
print $noofdays;

use date_create function, may be this will help you:

$date1=date_create("2013-03-15");
$date2=date_create("2013-12-12");

$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
