note 89601 added to function.strftime

I had a need to subtrackt an older time from current time to get the time between. Example: If one has worked from 2009-03-16 11:33:54 to 2009-03-16 12:01:54 then he has worked X hours,minutes and seconds. I tried to find that X. And so - one solution would be: <?php $start_date = strtotime("2009-03-16 11:33:54"); //start date from database - date("Y-m-d H:i:s") made as UNIX timestamp $end_date = strtotime("2009-03-16 12:01:54"); //end date from database - date("Y-m-d H:i:s") made as UNIX timestamp $ajavahe = $end_date - $start_date; $time_between = gmstrftime('%Hh %Mm %Ss', $ajavahe); //gmstrftime() deals with different timezones correctly. (If in example you would be situated in Estonia and you would use strftime() you get wrong answer off by 2 hrs, because timezone is GMT+2 - with gmstrftime() comes right answer.) echo 'You have worked: '.$time_between; ?> Hope that this one makes someones life easier :D ---- Server IP: 195.222.16.155 Probable Submitter: ::ffff:194.240.150.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89601 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89601 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89601 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
