Diferencia entre dos fechas
He intentado hacer una función en PHP que me halle la diferencia entre dos fechas, en años, meses y días. Por ejemplo: que entre el 20-01-2004 y el 24-02-2005 me diga que han transcurrido 1 año, 1 mes 4 días. Por más que lo he intentado no encuentro la forma correcta, que no falle nunca, si fuera sólo en días es muy fácil, pero de la forma que necesito no soy capaz de hacerlo.
