Subject: Re: [PHP] Subtracting two dates
<?
$otherDate = "2003-11-15"; // yyyy-mm-dd format
$otherDateStamp = strtotime($otherDate); // now a unix timestamp
$difference = time() - $otherDateStamp; // diff in seconds
?>
Then you need to decide if you want to show days, or hours, or years
difference...
I'll show you hours and days:
<?
$differenceHours = $difference / 3600; // 60secs x 60 mins
$differenceDays = $difference / 86400; // 60 x 60 x 24 hours
?>
You then need to round the number using round().
