Re: Time difference question...

Versions above just before 4.0 of MySQL can handle direct date math. Try SELECT date_returned - date_paged FROM pagetable; It'll work if you have values "date_returned" and "date_paged" in the table "pagetable" of course :o) HTH Martin >>> "NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI)" <sn4265@sbc.com> 06/25/02 04:40PM >>> I am working on a Call Log application, and need to calculate time. For example, if a page is received at 12:00, the page is returned at 12:10, and the call is resolved at 14:30... I need to be able to calculate the time to return the page, and also the time to resolve the call. I am not sure if PHP provides a function to handle date/time math. I know that MySQL can add and subtract a fixed interval to a date/time, but I am not sure if it can deal with math involving a pair of date/time values. Thanks in advance.
