Hi, I was wandering if anyone could help me with this problem: Right now I am using a field in my database which is of type ''Date'' (in the form dd-mm-yyyy).

Hey, I need to get the number of years (as a number) between two dates. Here is what I have as a helper. # Returns the number of years between now and the specified date. def years_ago(date) dateDifference = DateTime.now - date results =Date.day_fraction_to_time(dateDifference) return results[0] / 24 / 365; end I''m sure there is a better way to do this. What is it?
