you can use any programmin language to manipulate... i did the following in PHP... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ //################################################################################################################### // Function to calculate remaining days, hours, minutes and seconds between current date and end date.. // Returns the remaining time .. in days or hrs or mins or secs... //################################################################################################################### function CalRemTime($ClosingDay,$ClosingMonth,$ClosingYear) { $ClosingTime = mktime(24,60,60,$ClosingMonth,$ClosingDay,$ClosingYear); $TimeDifference = $ClosingTime - time();
$RemainingDays = ($TimeDifference - ($TimeDifference % 86400)) / 86400; $TimeDifference = $TimeDifference - ($RemainingDays * 86400); $RemainingHours = ($TimeDifference - ($TimeDifference % 3600)) / 3600; $TimeDifference = $TimeDifference - ($RemainingHours * 3600); $RemainingMinutes = ($TimeDifference - ($TimeDifference % 60)) / 60; $TimeDifference = $TimeDifference - ($RemainingMinutes * 60); $RemainingSeconds = ($TimeDifference - ($TimeDifference % 1)) / 1; if($RemainingDays>0) { $sValue = "$RemainingDays days"; return $sValue; } else { if($RemainingHours>0) { $sValue = "$RemainingHours hrs:$RemainingMinutes mins:$RemainingSeconds Secs"; return $sValue; } else { if($RemainingMinutes>0) { $sValue = "$RemainingMinutes mins:$RemainingSeconds Secs"; return $sValue; } else { if($RemainingSeconds>0) { $sValue = "$RemainingSeconds secs"; return $sValue; } else { $sValue = "Bidding time is over..."; return $sValue; } } } } } @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Shankar ------ --- Roger Baklund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > * YC Nyon > > I need to get the time/date (ie. 1 day 12 hours 11 > min 4sec) > > between 2 time dates. > > Can't seem to find any of these functions in the > Mysql manual.
