Getting hours between 2 times.

[slick101]

Iam having an issue with tryin figure out hours between 2 times.

i have

$start = "8:00PM";
$end = "1:00AM";

// tried using strtotime
$diff = strtotime($start) - strtotime($end);

echo date("h", $diff); // gives me but should be 5.

anyone have a clue?

Without a date portion for the time string, strtotime() is going to assume that both times are from "today"; so you'll be subtracting 1:00AM today from 8:00PM today.

I put

$start = "2009-03-28 8:00PM";
$end = "2009-03-29 1:00AM";
$diff = strtotime($start) - strtotime($end);
echo date("h", $diff);

but i still get the same result?
