This could be simplified to a function, but using some basic math....
<?php
$sqldata['CaldTime'] = "2008-04-07 11:15:32";
$sqldata['CallEnd'] = "2008-04-07 11:17:17";
$converted = explode('.',((strtotime($sqldata['CallEnd']) -
strtotime($sqldata['CaldTime'])) / 60));
$converted[1] = (($converted[1] / 6) * 3.6);
echo implode(':',$converted)."\n";
?>
