Subtract Date Time or find difference

[Kurt111780]

Hello,

I need to find the difference between a timestamp in the database and the current time.

This adds time to the current time then it is stored in the database.

$timeStamp = date('YmdHis', strtotime('+' . $expireTime . 'hours'));

Then I get the timeStamp from the the database and need to find the difference between that and the current time.

$currentTime 	= date("YmdHis");

How do I find the difference between these two and output something like:

"7 hours 20 minutes" or "3 days 7 hours 10 minutes"

Thanks

It's only easy when you know how.

Hi Kurt,

That should help ... scroll down about halfway to find the php code.
