[PHP-DB] Easy way to calculate difference between two dates
Is there an easy way to calculate the difference between the current date and a date prior to January 1, 1970 (unix epoch). Just getting the timestamp and then subtracting the other date from it won't work because it will be a negative number. Any insight? I think this can be done very easily in ASP (built in function? But I don't know ASP, it's just what I heard). Thanks for your help =)

soo what happens with php if you do something like convert them both to Y-m-d H:i:s and then subtract one from the other, i have a feeling (haven't tried) that php will handle the rest for you... // -Original Message- // From: SpamSucks86 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Monday, 21 January 2002 10:19 AM // To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Subject: [PHP-DB] Easy way to calculate difference between two dates // // // Is there an easy way to calculate the difference between the current // date and a date prior to January 1, 1970 (unix epoch).
