I would like to count number of comments after 5 days ago

thank you for WebElain to help me. This answer driving me to the right request.

Now it’s ok. It is an object indead and I use something more simple with get_comments () query with parameter count enabled.

the final code is like this :

#!/usr/bin/php

<?php
if ( ! defined('ABSPATH') ) {
    /** Set up WordPress environment */
    require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ). '/wordpress/wp-load.php' );
}

$output = shell_exec('date --date="10 day ago" "+%Y-%m-%d %T"');

echo "$output";

// WP_Comment_Query arguments

$args1 = array(
        'status' => 'approve',
        'count' => true,
                'date_query' => array(
                    array (
                       'after' => $output,
                    ),
                 ),
              );

//$comms = var_dump( $comments );

$nbr = get_comments( $args1 );

echo "$nbr\n";

?>

Thank you.
