hungryOrb Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 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.. ;] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72305-date-conversions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norsk.Firefox Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 take a look at strtotime() it takes a date and convert it to seconds like the time() function Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72305-date-conversions/#findComment-364577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
