Diese Funktion ist ein Alias für: DateTime::diff()
Here is how I solved the problem of missing date_diff function with php versions below 5.3.0
The function accepts two dates in string format (recognized by strtotime() hopefully), and returns the date difference in an array with the years as first element, respectively months as second, and days as last element.
It should be working in all cases, and seems to behave properly when moving through February.
<?php
function dateDifference($startDate, $endDate)
{
$startDate = strtotime($startDate);
$endDate = strtotime($endDate);
if ($startDate === false || $startDate < 0 || $endDate === false || $endDate < 0 || $startDate > $endDate)
return false;
$years = date('Y', $endDate) - date('Y', $startDate);
$endMonth = date('m', $endDate);
$startMonth = date('m', $startDate);
// Calculate months
$months = $endMonth - $startMonth;
if ($months <= 0) {
$months += 12;
$years--;
}
if ($years < 0)
return false;
// Calculate the days
$offsets = array();
if ($years > 0)
$offsets[] = $years . (($years == 1) ? ' year' : ' years');
if ($months > 0)
$offsets[] = $months . (($months == 1) ? ' month' : ' months');
$offsets = count($offsets) > 0 ? '+' . implode(' ', $offsets) : 'now';
$days = $endDate - strtotime($offsets, $startDate);
$days = date('z', $days);
return array($years, $months, $days);
}
?>
Here is an incomplete workaround for PHP < 5.3.0

This is a very simple function to calculate the difference between two datetime values, returning the result in seconds. To convert to minutes, just divide the result by 60. In hours, by 3600 and so on.
Enjoy.
<?php
function time_diff($dt1,$dt2){
$y1 = substr($dt1,0,4);
$m1 = substr($dt1,5,2);
$d1 = substr($dt1,8,2);
$h1 = substr($dt1,11,2);
$i1 = substr($dt1,14,2);
$s1 = substr($dt1,17,2);
$y2 = substr($dt2,0,4);
$m2 = substr($dt2,5,2);
$d2 = substr($dt2,8,2);
$h2 = substr($dt2,11,2);
$i2 = substr($dt2,14,2);
$s2 = substr($dt2,17,2);
$r1=date('U',mktime($h1,$i1,$s1,$m1,$d1,$y1));
$r2=date('U',mktime($h2,$i2,$s2,$m2,$d2,$y2));
return ($r1-$r2);
}
?>
This function calculates the difference up to the second.
<?php
function date_diff($start, $end="NOW")
{
$sdate = strtotime($start);
$edate = strtotime($end);
$time = $edate - $sdate;
if($time>=0 && $time<=59) {
// Seconds
$timeshift = $time.' seconds ';
} elseif($time>=60 && $time<=3599) {
// Minutes + Seconds
$pmin = ($edate - $sdate) / 60;
$premin = explode('.', $pmin);
$presec = $pmin-$premin[0];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $premin[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
} elseif($time>=3600 && $time<=86399) {
// Hours + Minutes
$phour = ($edate - $sdate) / 3600;
$prehour = explode('.',$phour);
$premin = $phour-$prehour[0];
$min = explode('.',$premin*60);
$presec = '0.'.$min[1];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $prehour[0].' hrs '.$min[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
} elseif($time>=86400) {
// Days + Hours + Minutes
$pday = ($edate - $sdate) / 86400;
$preday = explode('.',$pday);
$phour = $pday-$preday[0];
$prehour = explode('.',$phour*24);
$premin = ($phour*24)-$prehour[0];
$min = explode('.',$premin*60);
$presec = '0.'.$min[1];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $preday[0].' days '.$prehour[0].' hrs '.$min[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
}
return $timeshift;
}
// EXAMPLE:
$start_date = 2010-03-15 13:00:00
$end_date = 2010-03-17 09:36:15
echo date_diff($start_date, $end_date);
?>
Returns: 1days 20hours 36min 15sec
Can be taken up to centuries - if you do the calculations.
Hope this finally helps someone! :D
If you simply want to compare two dates, using conditional operators works too:
<?php
$start = new DateTime('08-06-1995 Europe/Copenhagen'); // DD-MM-YYYY
$end = new DateTime('22-11-1968 Europe/Amsterdam');
if ($start < $end) {
echo "Correct order";
} else {
echo "Incorrect order, end date is before the starting date";
}
?>
A simple way to get the time lag (format: <hours>.<one-hundredth of one hour>).
Hier ein einfacher Weg zur Bestimmung der Zeitdifferenz (Format: <Stunden>.<hundertstel Stunde>).
<?php
function GetDeltaTime($dtTime1, $dtTime2)
{
$nUXDate1 = strtotime($dtTime1->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$nUXDate2 = strtotime($dtTime2->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$nUXDelta = $nUXDate1 - $nUXDate2;
$strDeltaTime = "" . $nUXDelta/60/60; // sec -> hour
$nPos = strpos($strDeltaTime, ".");
if (nPos !== false)
$strDeltaTime = substr($strDeltaTime, 0, $nPos + 3);
return $strDeltaTime;
}
?>
