Re: [PHP] Difference between 2 Dates

[Colin Bossen]

I have a similar problem. I am trying to figure out which of two dates is greater. Both are in the yyyy-mm-dd format. Is there any easy function that allows this sort of comparison or am I missing something?

out how to dispaly the difference once calucuated. Belowis the code I'm
using:

# --- Date Difference ---
#Date 1 from MySQL database recordset row
$date1 = $row_rsMESSAGES['privmsgs_date'];
#Date 2 - now
$date2 = date("ymd H:is");

#function
function date_diff($date1, $date2) {
$s = strtotime($date2)-strtotime($date1);
$d = intval($s/86400);
$s -= $d*86400;
$h = intval($s/3600);
$s -= $h*3600;
$m = intval($s/60);
$s -= $m*60;
return array("d"=>$d,"h"=>$h,"m"=>$m,"s"=>$s);
}

#what I thought would dispaly the diffence but returns and error.
echo date_diff("$m, $d, $h, $m");


Thanks
