Ultimate age calculator

[denis and marrs]

Well I can't seem to get it to do the right thing.

I am just trying to display an age. Like say mine, my birthday is Feb 05, 1983 so you put down

1983, 2, 5, "", "0", "rounddown"

and what does it come up with, it says I am 20. No good. It should say I am 19, not 20. My point is how do you fix the mistake in the script to make it say the right age? I've been working on it for hours to see what I could ponder up, but I couldn't.

Thanks

use a different age calculator..I don't think it takes things like leap year and the fact that different months sometimes have different # of days...

its seems that may 28th is the cut off...

Hey thanks for your help and giving me those links. But it's not the thing I want to display on the site. I just the numbers like to say just "19" and turn 20 when it's the birthday and so on and son on. Thanks again though.

Ok, this should be 99% accurate, plus a little extra fluff from the date object I wrote :D

Anyone who wishes to refine the algorithm (it's not perfect) is welcome to do so.
