Question

I’m wanting to display on a php page the difference between the current server time and a datetime row plus a row that has milliseconds in it, so I guess the equation would look kind of like ((Datetime+Milliseconds)-Server Time).

The only problem is, I’m not sure how to do it in code. I can currently get the difference between the datetime row and the current time with echo strtotime($row['date_added']) - time(); When I try adding the row that contains the milliseconds, date_mil, I get a really long number.

The date in the row date_added looks like 2012-05-25 16:55:06 and the value of the date_mil is around 218238.

I’m still learning how to do all of this, and this has me confused. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

I just solved my own problem.

$difference = time() - strtotime($row['date_added']);
$milliseconds = round(($row['date_mil']) * .001);
echo $milliseconds - $difference;
