Hi

Iam trying to get two timestamps to compare

One is created when the page is loaded, the other is stored ina db.

I want to find the difference in seconds between to two...

I try subtraction, but that is not valid as it doesnt work in 60's for seconds or hours. etc...

Any tips or howto's ?

I can't quit get that!
normal substration will give the difference in seconds.
then you should devide by 60 to get it by mintues.

okay

If I have this

PHP Code:

 $now = "220505";

 $time = "230505";



 $total = $time - $now / "60" / "60" / "60";



 echo $total; 

shouldnt that return the seconds between the two times ?

Is the code in your post literally what you are using? If so, take a 2nd look at the echo. It has time in it, not total. ---

echo $time;

[perleo]

sorry, should be $total; i get this as the output

230838.93037

Actually do this -

PHP Code:

$total = ($time - $now) / 60 / 60 / 60; 

The division was being performed 1st on $now then the subtraction is performed...

what ever your time format... make it to Unix.Timestamp first
either using SQL or using mktime() function
and format back to your format using strftime()
