i get the following error, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function date_diff()" on line 34

Here is the code:

$datetime1 = date_create('2015-05-18');
$datum = "2015-05-20";
$datetime2 = date_create('now');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
$dagen = $interval->format('%R%a dagen');
    echo("

I have no idea what i am doing wrong, hopefully someone could help me.

what's your php version? `date_diff` is available only from 5.3 – Federkun Oct 14 '15 at 22:46

I think my webhost degraded the php version to 5.2. Is it possible in 5.2? – Joey Felling Oct 14 '15 at 22:47
@JoeyFelling, 5.4 is the current stable, there are certainly workarounds, but it'd be best to consult with your host to get on a more relevant PHP version. – Devon Bessemer Oct 14 '15 at 22:48
Thanks to everyone for the fast replies. The problem is that all of my other files are made in 5.2 and most wont work 100% if upgraded. I would really like to know how to do this in 5.2. – Joey Felling Oct 14 '15 at 22:51

Even 5.4 is security fixes only now - http://php.net/supported-versions.php – Mark Baker Oct 14 '15 at 22:51
but please, upgrade your php to a stable version... otherwise you shouldn't even pay your webhost – Federkun Oct 14 '15 at 22:57
How is that? Thanks for the link btw. I am still relatively new to php. – Joey Felling Oct 14 '15 at 22:59
