I found this code on the php.net web site but am new to php and can't figure
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
