Since you asked, i guess you're not familiary with the % operator
(modulus). Read the operator section of the manual, and you'll see how
modulus is your friend...

But a better way, is to subtract one from the other and then use
gmdate() on the difference, that way you don't have to worry about
differences in excess of 60 secs...
