That looks like something from MySQL...
Is it? Because then you can use the DATEDIFF function:
Code:
SELECT DATEDIFF(NOW(), date) AS `days`



If not, try
PHP Code:
<?php

$then = strtotime("2008-05-06");
$now = time();

$days = ($now-$then)/86400; // approximate
// round down using floor(), or round up using ceil()

?>
