Try this:
<?php
function unixTime($time)
{
$year=substr($time,0,4);
$month=substr($time,4,2);
$day=substr($time,6,2);
$hour=substr($time,8,2);
$min=substr($time,10,2);
$sec=substr($time,12,2);
return strtotime("$year/$month/$day $hour:$min:$sec");
}
$time1='20020707140000';
$time2='20020707160000';
$timeDiff=unixTime($time2)-unixTime($time1);
echo "The two times are $timeDiff seconds apart";
?>
There's bound to be a way to do this much more neatly using a regexp but
this was quick to write and it works :)
