Do it in one hit :)    timediff comes out in hours:minutes:seconds

$query = "
        SELECT *,
        UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(script_ran) as seconds,
        SEC_TO_TIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(script_ran)) as timediff
        FROM hardware_assets 
        WHERE ethernet_address = '$ethernet_address'";
        
$result = mysql_query($query, $db_connect) or die (mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )){
        $seconds = $row["seconds"];
        $timediff = $row["timediff"];
        echo "$seconds = $timediff <br>";
}
