    You can check out strtotime(), works for me.

    echo strtotime('-1 year');
    PHP:
    (if thats what you want)

<?
function get_string_from_today( $until )
{
	$now = time( );
	
	if( $now < strtotime( $until ) )
	{
		$time = strtotime( $until ) - $now ;
		
		$years = floor( $time / 31556926 ) ; 
		
		$time = $time - ( $years * 31556926 ); 
		
		$months = floor( $time / 2629743.83 ) ; 
		
		$time = $time - ( $months * 2629743.83 );
		
		$days = floor( $time / 86400 );
		
		return sprintf
		(
			'%d years %d months and %d days', $years, $months, $days
		);	
	}
}

$test1 = '12th November 2011';
$test2 = '12-12-2020';
printf("%s is %s away<br />", $test1, get_string_from_today( $test1 ) );
printf("%s is %s away<br />", $test2, get_string_from_today( $test2 ) );
    PHP:
    It's mathematically correct, and I think it should be chronologically correct aswell, maths really isn't my strong point.....
