Let say we have start date and end date

 if (isset($_POST['start_date']))
    $_POST['start_date'] = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($_POST['start_date']));

 if (isset($_POST['end_date']))
    $_POST['end_date'] = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($_POST['end_date']));

would $_POST['end_date'] - $_POST['start_date'] give you the expired time in seconds?

    No, to get the expired time in seconds you would use strtotime():

    $expired = strtotime($_POST['end_date'])-strtotime($_POST['start_date']);

if (isset($_POST['start_date']))
    $_POST['start_date'] = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($_POST['start_date']));

if (isset($_POST['end_date']))
    $_POST['end_date'] = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($_POST['end_date']));

if (isset($_POST['start_date']) && isset($_POST['end_date'])) echo 'Expired time in seconds: ' . $expired;
