PHP – Why date_diff returns unexpected result?

I want to get the number of days between the two dates.

// DD-MM-YYYY
$date[0] = "01-03-2023";
$date[1] = "30-03-2023";

echo date_diff(date_create($date[0]),date_create($date[1]))->d + 1;

The program above returns 2, instead of the right number of days.

    Try with this code :

    $date[0] = "01-03-2023";
$date[1] = "30-03-2023";

$diff = date_diff(date_create($date[0]), date_create($date[1]));
$days = $diff->format('%a') + 1;

echo $days;

    or

    $date[0] = "01-03-2023";
$date[1] = "30-03-2023";
echo date_diff(date_create($date[0]),date_create($date[1]))->days + 1;

    Result :

    30

    You should call date_diff()->days which returns the number of days between the 2 dates.

    Please change:

    echo date_diff(date_create($date[0]),date_create($date[1]))->d + 1;

    To this:

    echo date_diff(date_create($date[0]),date_create($date[1]))->days + 1;
