okay, this is just me thinking out loud... none of this is tested...
<?
function something($time)
{
$time = substr($time, 0, -3);
list($days,$theRest) = explode(' days, ', $time);
list($h,$m,$s) = explode(':', $theRest);
$days = $days * 86400;
$h = $h * 360;
$m = $m * 60;
$seconds = $days+$h+$m+$s;
return $seconds;
}
$t1 = something('181 days, 7:16:6.75');
$t2 = something('181 days, 7:11:06.66');
echo $t1 - $t2;
?>
basically,
- take the string
- get rid of the last 3 chars (eg .75)
- split on ' days, '
- split the 2nd half on ':'
- multiply each bit (days, hrs, mins) by the appropriate no of seconds
- add it all together to get a number in seconds
Cheers,
Justin
