How can PHP be used to calculate the difference between two dates?

To calculate the difference between two dates in PHP, you can use the DateTime class to create DateTime objects for each date, and then use the diff() method to calculate the difference between them. This method returns a DateInterval object which can provide the difference in terms of days, months, years, etc. 

$date1 = new DateTime('2022-01-01');
$date2 = new DateTime('2022-01-10');

$interval = $date1->diff($date2);

echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
