calculate the number of nights between two dates

I want how to extract the exact number of nights. I tried to achieve this by two ways but doesn't work. It return 20 nights but in real, it is 21 nights (March have 31 days)

$startTimeStamp = strtotime("14-03-2017");                                   
$endTimeStamp = strtotime("04-04-2017");                                     

$timeDiff = abs($endTimeStamp - $startTimeStamp);                            

$numberDays = $timeDiff/86400;  // 86400 seconds in one day                  


$numberDays = intval($numberDays);                                           

echo $numberDays;                                                            

echo floor((strtotime('04-04-2017')-strtotime('14-03-2017'))/(60*60*24));

check this out for calculating nights

$start_ts = strtotime("2019-10-05"); 
$end_ts = strtotime("2019-10-06"); 
$diff = $end_ts - $start_ts; 
echo round($diff / 86400);//1 night

work like charm

Use the new DateTime extension, PHP 5.3+:

$date1 = new DateTime("2010-07-06");
$date2 = new DateTime("2010-07-09");

// this calculates the diff between two dates, which is the number of nights
$numberOfNights= $date2->diff($date1)->format("%a");
