note 68037 added to ref.datetime

Hopefully this may be useful to someone out there! I wanted a simple function to give me a duration for phone calls using a start timestamp and end timestamp. After finding an understandable example here http://www.brenlei.com/articles/php/dates/dates4.php i cobbled this together: function callDuration($dateTimeBegin,$dateTimeEnd) { $dif=$dateTimeEnd - $dateTimeBegin; $hours = floor($dif / 3600); $temp_remainder = $dif - ($hours * 3600); $minutes = floor($temp_remainder / 60); $temp_remainder = $temp_remainder - ($minutes * 60); $seconds = $temp_remainder; // leading zero's - not bothered about hours $min_lead=':'; if($minutes <=9) $min_lead .= '0'; $sec_lead=':'; if($seconds <=9) $sec_lead .= '0'; // difference/duration returned as Hours:Mins:Secs e.g. 01:29:32 return $hours.$min_lead.$minutes.$sec_lead.$seconds; } obviously it can be easily extended to include days, weeks etc. Stupidly simple I know but that's how i like it. ---- Server IP: 83.138.144.80 Probable Submitter: 213.160.100.186 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68037 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68037 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68037 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
