I know the UNIX epoch is 1/1/1970 and that mktime() returns the number of
seconds between that date and the date specified by its parameters. If this
date is before 1/1/1970, it always returns -1, not a large negative number,
which would be more reasonable, i think.
The question is: How can I know the number of seconds ellapsed between any
date in the past and today?
Thanks in advance.
