you can do this with one, much shorter, line of code

$yearsOld = floor(abs(mktime() - strtotime("March 17, 1982")) / 31536000);

subtracts the timestamp of the parsed birth date, from the current timestamp. It then divides that number by the number of seconds in a 365 day year. The result being the number of years between the 2 dates.
