Re: datetime difference in days(created and action_date column)
convert to unix timestamp using TimeHelper::fromString() , substract, and you'll get duration in miliseconds.. erm.. ever heard of this question before..

Re: datetime difference in days(created and action_date column)
You could try googling for it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=date+difference+php Also, in the future, let's try and keep this group CakePHP related. While I don't mind helping out with PHP-only questions here and there, that's not really the purpose of this group :) Anyway, try date_diff. Like AD said, there's many ways to do this.

There are lots of ways to do that - the simplest of which is to do it exactly the same way you'd do it with php since (gasp) CakePHP is written in php.

datetime difference in days(created and action_date column)
Dear friends I would like to ask how to implement calculation at view.ctp and controllers to get difference between created and action date column and to be appear at duration column. i found resource in php but i dont know how to implement it into cakephp hope can help me thank you in advance -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Datetime difference
Yeah, I already solved it with PHP code... The thing I was hanging on
was that the data returned on the form to the controller is not a
DateTime but an array. So when I want to do my $this->data->save()
function, I was unable to calculate the time since all examples use
the DateTimeformat.
I did a workaround by first saving everything in the form to the
database (apart from the time-difference), then re-extracting the two
time-values (which when reextracted are now of the datetime format)
and do the calculations in PHP with tweaked examples given above, and
adding the calculated value back into the correct row.
Far from optimal, but it's a workaround to get everything up and
running, I'll refactor it later when I figured out what array the
automagic DateTime-formhelper returns.
Thanks!

Re: Datetime difference
You could calculate the time difference on the fly with mysql TIMEDIFF function [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_timediff] instead of store it in the db And this [http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-16.html] may help to store the time difference.

Datetime difference
Hej all! Since my good advice just ago, I got to another bottleneck. I have a form in which the user selects two times (a start- and an end- time). The form works perfectly and the times get stored in the table as hh:mm:ss. However, I have a 3th row in the database that must hold the elapsed time between the two form-inputted times. I want the computer to calculate this. I figured I must do this in in the controller, I can of course even do after the $this->Model->save() action with a saveField, just before the redirect. However, I cannot seem to find a good example of making that function. I'm not sure how i get my timestamp back from the form, if they are simply substractable and how to store it back in the table. If it makes matters easier, elapsed time can be stored as an integer holding seconds between times in the table, I can probably calculate those back in elapsed minutes/hours in a later view of the table. Any idea's or links to examples of working with Timestamps? It always boggles me! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
