You're making dates differently, as if they were numbers, and that's not right.
Make sure that both variables containing date are in the same format.
Then use the DateTime class and make the difference between them.
Then try:
$post_aniversario = '11/05/2000';
$aniversario = new DateTime();
$aniversario = $aniversario->createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $post_aniversario);
$data_atual = new DateTime();
$diff = $aniversario->diff($data_atual);
print_r($diff); // or $diff->days
Result:
DateInterval Object
(
[y] = > 0
[m] = > 0
[d] = > x
[h] = > 0
[i] = > 0
[s] = > 0
[invert] = > 0
[days] = > x
)
Or even using datediff
$date1=date_create("2013-03-15");
$date2=date_create("2013-12-12");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
