This might be the direction you want?
<?php
$now = time(); //Get current timestamp
$then = mktime(0,0,0,7,12,2001);
$diff = $then - $now;
$ary = getdate($diff);
while(list($key, $val) = each($ary)){
echo "$key ==> $val<BR>";
}
?>
Outputs
seconds ==> 46
minutes ==> 16
hours ==> 19
mday ==> 20
wday ==> 2
mon ==> 1
year ==> 1970
yday ==> 19
weekday ==> Tuesday
month ==> January
0 ==> 1676806
