Bug #10217 Updated: Feature

ID: 10217 Updated by: shiflett@php.net Reported By: karl@sukz.org -Status: Closed +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux 2.2.16 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: shiflett New Comment: Actually, I think Karl has a good suggestion, and the - operator wasn't the answer he was looking for. Try to calculate how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and years between two random times, and I bet it takes you several lines of PHP. Just because it *can* be done now doesn't mean it isn't worth considering making a function to help make it easier for people. Is there a good reason why we shouldn't add some helpful date/time functions? If not, I'll be happy to take on the project myself.

I was wondering if you could impliment one in the next version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10217&edit=1
