You can just subtract the timestamps the find the number of seconds between any
two times. PHP has a rich set of functions to help you generate timestamps if
you only have a text representation (05 Oct 2003) as well as functions to help
you format dates. See here for more:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php
One of the first user comments looks to be a function that combines a few of
these other functions together to do something like you are wanting.
Hope that helps.
