Difference between two dates

In response to a mailing list question, Thomas, the lead developer of the I18n components pointed out that to find the difference between two Zend_Dates, you just have to subtract them:

PHP:
  1. $date = Zend_Date::now();
  2. $diff = $date->sub($birthdate);
  3. $diff->toString();

Useful tip, that I've put here mainly so that I can find it again when I need it!
