Thanks, but I did use a time field so the time is stored as a hh:mm string. Gladly a debug($this) helped me in some way I did extract the date I needed $this->data[model][timefield][hour] $this->data[model][timefield][min] and added some simple code to calculate the time between start and end myselfe .. it worked fine :D
