first of all your data seems to come from a DB to me. If it's so then read your DB manual for date functions. It would be way better and faster.
Otherwise, if you're so keen to let this duty job up to PHP then convert both dates into UNIX time format 'maketime()' deduct the values and put them through the 'date()' function.
