Convert your dates to timestamps which will be 10-digit integers (the time
since 1.1.1970 in seconds) you can then substract/add them like normal
numbers.
$date = '2004-07-15 01:00:00';
$date2 = '2004-07-15 02:00:00';
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
$timestamp2 = strtotime($date2);
echo $timestamp2 - $timestamp1; // will output 3600 (seconds)
Hope this helps. Regards,
