Date() Conversions?

[hungryOrb]

Hi,

To work out a time duration between two dates, I realise you could just do a straight arithmetic using DATE()'s and return a fairly accurate (depending on what dates) result, obviously, fairly accurate is not accurate so I'd like an accurate result.

Wondering, the best way to do this is by converting all dates to minutes first? Assuming minutes is the most detailed precision im after.. Converting it to minutes and then back again, is a big task for my small brain, does anyone know of a function that does handles date arithmetic?

 

Thanks in advance, in the meantime, ofc I'll be searching the manual.. ;]

take a look at strtotime()

it takes a date and convert it to seconds like the time() function

Thanks, I did notice this when looking around. Doesn't seem so simple ;]
