Versions above just before 4.0 of MySQL can handle direct date math.
Try SELECT date_returned - date_paged FROM pagetable;
It'll work if you have values "date_returned" and "date_paged" in the table
"pagetable" of course :o)

I am working on a Call Log application, and need to calculate time.
For example, if a page is received at 12:00, the page is returned at 12:10,
and the call is resolved at 14:30... I need to be able to calculate the
time to return the page, and also the time to resolve the call. I am not
sure if PHP provides a function to handle date/time math. I know that MySQL
can add and subtract a fixed interval to a date/time, but I am not sure if
it can deal with math involving a pair of date/time values. Thanks in
advance.
