When using mysql, you may need to know the number of seconds between two dates, so when using two
timestamps 12, here is a very basic function, adjust it to your needs:
$between = elapsedTime($oldestTime,$NewestTime);
function elapsedTime($from,$to) {
$tyear = substr($from, 0, 4);
$tmonth = substr($from, 4, 2);
$tday = substr($from, 6, 2);
$thour = substr($from, 8, 2);
$tminute = substr($from, 10, 2);
$tsecond = substr($from, 12, 2);
$from = mktime($thour, $tminute, $tsecond, $tmonth, $tday, $tyear);
$tyear = substr($to, 0, 4);
$tmonth = substr($to, 4, 2);
$tday = substr($to, 6, 2);
$thour = substr($to, 8, 2);
$tminute = substr($to, 10, 2);
$tsecond = substr($to, 12, 2);
$to = mktime($thour, $tminute, $tsecond, $tmonth, $tday, $tyear);
$temp = $to-$from;
return $temp;
}
