Elapsed Time

[kidgeek_dfw]

Does anyone have a good Elapsed Time Function?

I pulled a couple from Hotscripts but they have problems with certain dates...
go figure...
Don't have time to fix their code either...

I need it to output

elapsed time: 1 year, 2 mths, 25 days, 2 hrs, 20 min

Pulling the create dtm from mysql against the current server dtm....

You can customize the calcDateDiff() function to return what you want found at this post:

You can pull the date from your table using UNIX_TIMESTAMP() SQL function and pass it as the second argument to the calcDateDiff() function. Please note that this will only work for dates going back to 1970 (since the function is Unix timestamps).

Good luck.
