Hi, i have used the link and its not giving me any value. Any clues why? This is the date from the database 28-04-06 16.52.51 Then i am trying to take away the current time. Time now is 16:53:34 [code]$array = explode(" ",$starttime); $array2 = explode("-",$array[0]); $array3 = explode(".",$array[1]); echo $starttime . "<br>"; $seconds_dif = mktime($array2[0],$array2[1],$array3[2],$array3[0],$array3[1],$array3[2]) - mktime(date("d"),date("m"),date("y"),date("G"),date("i"),date("s")); echo "Seconds:" . floor($seconds_diff);[/code] Please help, this is getting very awkward.

Hi, thanks for the link. Almost there i think. The value i want to compare it to is the database value. It gives me a really really high number, that is no where near the true value. Any ideas? [code]$seconds_dif = mktime($starttime) - mktime(date("d"),date("m"),date("y"),date("G"),date("i"),date("s")); echo $seconds_dif;[/code] 1146193195 This is the answer This is no where near the ammount. I insert it and press it refresh and the difference should be a few seconds. I have no idea why.

Hi, sorry my fault. The problem was always printing out the seconds. I would just like to get the number of seconds between the two values.

Hi the problem is printing out the number of seconds. I would just like to do a simple difference find between the two values.

Hi, yes thats the error message returned. Do you know why its returning this and not the difference in seconds please?

Hi, I am trying to calculate the number of seconds difference between two dates. The problem is this function keeps returing an error and i am definitley returning two time and dates with seconds included. Does someone know where i am going wrong? The dates and times definitley have seconds. This is the function [code]function get_time_difference( $start, $end ) {     $uts['start']      =    strtotime( $start );     $uts['end']        =    strtotime( $end );     if( $uts['start']!==-1 && $uts['end']!==-1 )     {         if( $uts['end'] >= $uts['start'] )         {             $diff    =    $uts['end'] - $uts['start'];             if( $days=intval((floor($diff/86400))) )                 $diff = $diff % 86400;             if( $hours=intval((floor($diff/3600))) )                 $diff = $diff % 3600;             if( $minutes=intval((floor($diff/60))) )                 $diff = $diff % 60;             $diff    =    intval( $diff );                         return( array('days'=>$days, 'hours'=>$hours, 'minutes'=>$minutes, 'seconds'=>$diff) );         }         else         {             trigger_error( "Ending date/time is earlier than the start date/time", E_USER_WARNING );         }     }     else     {         trigger_error( "Invalid date/time data detected", E_USER_WARNING );     }     return( false ); }[/code] This is the piece of code that returns the error or the difference. [code]if( $diff=@get_time_difference($starttime, $endtime) ) {   echo "Hours: " .        sprintf( '%02d:%02d', $diff['hours'], $diff['minutes'] ); } else {   echo "Hours: Error"; }[/code]

Hi, i am new here. I am having an issue with PHP. Its giving me a really annoying error and i can't figure out why. The error: [b]Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/stud/1/c0261087/public_html/blog/process2.php on line 99[/b] Can someone see something i can't?
