Zend Date -- day difference

I have the below line of codes 

$day1 = new Zend_Date('2010-03-01', 'YYYY-mm-dd');
$day2 = new Zend_Date('2010-03-05', 'YYYY-mm-dd');
$dateDiff = $day2->getDate()->get(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP) - $day1->getDate()->get(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
$days = floor((($dateDiff / 60) / 60) / 24);
return  $days;

this will return 4

But if gave 

$day1 = new Zend_Date('2010-02-28', 'YYYY-mm-dd');
$day2 = new Zend_Date('2010-03-01', 'YYYY-mm-dd');
$dateDiff = $day2->getDate()->get(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP) - $day1->getDate()->get(Zend_Date::TIMESTAMP);
$days = floor((($dateDiff / 60) / 60) / 24);
return  $days;

it will return -27 .. how will i get right answer

Solution 
  • $firstDay = new Zend_Date('2010-02-28', 'YYYY-MM-dd');
$lastDay = new Zend_Date('2010-03-01', 'YYYY-MM-dd');
$diff = $lastDay->sub($firstDay)->toValue();
$days = ceil($diff/60/60/24) +1;

    return $days;

    this gives the right answer
