If you can include it from TypoScript, the correct way is to create a PHP file named user_datediff.php with the following content:

<?php

function user_datediff() {
	$dday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 29, 2001);
	$diff = time() - $dday;
	$days = $diff / 86400;
	return sprintf('(%d day%s young)', $days, $days == 1 ? '' : 's');
}

?>

The in TypoScript:

includeLibs.user_datediff = fileadmin/user_datediff.php
page.100 = USER
page.100.userFunc = user_datediff

If you want to use it as content element, you have to make a TYPO3 extension.
