You can also use this (for versions PHP 5.1.5 and above without using date_diff()):

function dayCount($from, $to) {
    $first_date = strtotime($from);
    $second_date = strtotime($to);
    $days_diff = $second_date - $first_date;
    return date('d',$days_diff);
}

print dayCount($s, $e).' Days';
