Question

I use this code to calculate difference between two dates in hours and minutes :

$all = round(($date1timestamp - $date2timestamp) / 60);
$d = floor ($all / 1440);
$h = floor (($all - $d * 1440) / 60);
$m = $all - ($d * 1440) - ($h * 60);

Works perfectly but when I must multiple times to calculate difference between dates I must write code again and change values is there any simple way to calculate multiple times without rewrite code again ??

Answer 1

Try:

Function:

function date_difference ($date1timestamp, $date2timestamp) {
$all = round(($date1timestamp - $date2timestamp) / 60);
$d = floor ($all / 1440);
$h = floor (($all - $d * 1440) / 60);
$m = $all - ($d * 1440) - ($h * 60);
//Since you need just hours and mins
return array('hours'=>$h, 'mins'=>$m);
}

Calling the function:

$result = date_difference($date1timestamp, $date2timestamp);
