A bit closer, this is the start of working system.
I would like to have a system that tells me the age in years and months.
At he moment this code tells me that my son is over 1 year of age.

<html>
<head><basefont face="Arial"></head>
<body>
<?php
function CalcAge($date_of_birth) { // YYYY-MM-DD
$cur_year=date("Y");
$cur_month=date("m");
$cur_day=date("d");
$dob_year=substr($date_of_birth, 0, 4);
$dob_month=substr($date_of_birth, 5, 2);
$dob_day=substr($date_of_birth, 8, 2);
if($cur_month>$dob_month || ($dob_month==$cur_month &&
$cur_day>=$dob_day) )
return $cur_year-$dob_year;
else
return $cur_year-$dob_year-1;
}
?>
<?php
$output = CalcAge('2005-10-07');
echo "<h2> $output </h2>";
?>
</body>
</html>
