[Solved] comparing times

Recommended Posts

Just subtract the times.

$time_inbetween = $current_time - $intime;

Where $current_time is the current timestamp and $intime is the timestamp in the database. $timeinbetween should be a timestamp (the number of seconds between the two other timestamps)

So use date() with $time_inbetween to get the number of hours/minutes/seconds/days/weeks or whatever you want.

nope that wont work ... it will not work because what if the timein is jan. (01) and the current time is nov. (11) that would give me -10

It should work if all three variables in my example are timestamps.
