PEAR is somewhat nice and all, but this should really be CORE
functionality. What if they don't have PEAR and they're not allowed to
install it or don't know how or don't even know it's there or....?
*Most* Functions in the Date/Time category should be core IMO since we
already give them plenty of rope to hang themselves with other date
manipulation functions. This function is one that should be in
core...I'm sure you'll dislike this example, but developers coming from
VBScript
will expect an equivalent to DateDiff().
We already have functions that *could* be done easily in userland as
well...array_diff() is one of them. So I don't buy that argument, nor
the bloat argument as this should be a small addition.
Would like some feedback for and against this addition.

I suppose it does. I should familiarize myself with PEAR more before I
accidentally reinvent the wheel.

Doesn't PEAR have a class which does that?

Actually, I think Karl has a good suggestion, and the - operator wasn't
the answer he was looking for.
Try to calculate how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and
years between two random times, and I bet it takes you several lines of
PHP. Just because it *can* be done now doesn't mean it isn't worth
considering making a function to help make it easier for people.
Is there a good reason why we shouldn't add some helpful date/time
functions? If not, I'll be happy to take on the project myself.

it's called the - operator.
