time difference

[MasterACE14]

if I have the following...

$time1 = $row['time']; // 1278919417
$time2 = time(); 

how can I workout the time difference of the two variables?

Hi,

 

Theres a lots of same topic as yours in 'PHP Coding Help', look around.

 

----

unix timestamp - unix timestamp

$time = $time2 - $time1;

echo date('Y-m-d', $time);

if($time2 > $time1)
   $diff = $time2 - $time1;
} else {
   $diff = $time1 - $time2;
}

[salathe]

$diff = abs($time1 - $time2);

 

Do you want the time difference in seconds, or some other format?

[MasterACE14]

$diff = abs($time1 - $time2);

<?php

function getTimeDiff($time1, $time2) {
  if($time2 > $time1)
     $diff = abs($time2 - $time1);
  } else {
     $diff = abs($time1 - $time2);
  }
  return CEIL($diff / 60);
}

?>

 

This should sum it up for you.

No need for the if/else if you're using abs.
