mktime & date

[leagal4ever]

1. I need calculate time between given date in (May 27,2009 22:41) format and now.
   I thought use mktime for now and somehow get mktime value of given date calculate and for output it should come in hours:min:sec format, so i cant use date since hours can be 55. Also given date is always higher than now.

2. How start in calledar with day which actualy is example http://www.yogaforallsc.com/calendar/ startin with friday
   Need a pointer or two.

<?php

$timeDiff = time - strtotime($time_var);   //time difference in seconds

//now do what ever you want to make it read however you need to 

?>

Cool function, i make it like that kinda pesant solution?

$h = strtotime("May 30,2009 15:38") - time();
$days = date("j");
$hours = date("H");

$hours = $days * 24 + $hours .":";

echo $hours. date("i:s ", $h);

The time() function call should always be a larger number than th value used in the strtotime() call. So it should go first.

Also that value is in seconds and its the difference, so you would need to divide by the number of seconds in a hour (3600) to get the number of hours, the number of seconds in a day (86400) to get the number of days and so on. Using any of the date functions on that differnece value will not work
