Date Function

[Anon]

How can I get the current number of hours passed since a certain date that I can set in the PHP script?

So for example if I set the date to:
25 07 2002 06:25 PM
The counter would firstly show "0" and if I came back a day later (to the exact minute) it would show "24".

Thanks, Nat.

Easy,

First: use mktime() to get the start date into seconds so we can do some math.

Second: get the current number of seconds since like Jan 1. 1971 or thereabouts, (ie just use time() function)

Third: subtract the time() - start date and you have the number of seconds elapsed.

Fourth: Take your result divided by (606024) to get the number of hours passed.

I've done everything except write the script for ya! It's not a difficult one to figure out.
