time differents

[crashmaster]

Hi,

I need help in "time" question.

 

I have a file, which contains this  2007-12-19||14:55:05

What I want to do is to get difference between date and time now, and date and time stored in the files...

Difference should be in minutes...

 

for ex:

 

file.txt =>

2007-12-19||14:55:05

 

now:

2007-12-19||22:00:05

 

 

Difference = (file.txt - now) = 7h 5min = 425min

 

Can somebody help me? thanks

$file = file('input.txt');
$now = time();
foreach($file as $line) {
     $line = str_replace('||', ' ', $line);
     $then = strtotime($line);
     echo "Difference: " . ($now - $then) . "<br />\r\n";
}

 

That would be in seconds though...

Perhaps use strtotime() to get the timestamps. Then take the smaller from the larger, and you have the difference in seconds. Then divide by 60 to get it in minutes
