Assuming the DOB values are in $Year, $Month and $Day:

$ThisYear = date('Y');
// Get this year as YYYY

$Age = $ThisYear - $Year;
// Subtract birth year

if (date('z') < date('z', strtotime("$ThisYear-$Month-$Day"))) {
$Age--;
}
// date('z') = day of the year, 0-366
// If today is less than the birthday, decrement $Age
