Question

Use php and MySQL, I want to get the duration in php code between time obtained by get_date() function and time stored in table by NOW() sql function. How to do this? Help me please.

Answer 1

This might work:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - " . time() . " AS diff");
$result = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$diff = $result['diff'];

$diff will contain the difference in seconds between the mysql server and the webserver

Edit: to get the HH:MM:SS difference

$result = mysql_query("SELECT TIMEDIFF(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), " . time() . ") AS diff");
