Re: calculate 2 times

You can use mktime() to calculate the unix timestamp of the date. Once you have the difference in seconds you can easily display the time taken. <? $time = $stop - $start; $hours = (int)($time / 3600); $time -= ($hours * 3600); $mins = (int)($time / 60); $time -= ($mins * 60); if ($hours) { $show = $hours . ":"; } if ($mins) { $show .= $mins . ":"; } echo $show . $time; ?> On Wed, 23 Jan 2002 12:22:57 -0000, Martin E. Koss wrote: > >Hi.
