1. Requirements Analysis
In order to conveniently, accurately and quickly display the student's age, the system usually automatically calculates it based on the student's date of birth. Next, please use PHP variables to save the student's year, month, and day respectively, and obtain the current year, month, and day through the data function in PHP, and finally calculate the student's age.
For example:
The date of birth is: August 2, 2000
If it is May 2020, the age is 20 years old
If it is October 2020, the age is 19 years old
