Firstly, I assume you mean "Y-m-j H:i:s" for the date format. To get the difference between 2 time strings :
<?php // orginal time strings $firstTime="2002-04-19 13:49:00"; $lastTime="2002-04-19 14:00:00"; // convert to unix timestamps $firstTime=strtotime($firstTime); $lastTime=strtotime($lastTime); // perform subtraction to get the difference (in seconds) between times $timeDiff=$lastTime-$firstTime; //echo out the difference printf ("Difference is %d seconds",$timeDiff); ?> HTH Danny. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 1:08 PM Subject: [PHP] Determine the difference between two dates > If I have two variables of time both in the format of "Y-m-j J:i:s" > How would I go about and get the difference? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
