Comparing Time Stamp

Question

So I have this method,

$time2 = get_the_time( __( 'F Y h:i:s A ', 'woocommerce' ), $order->ID );

that returns a string something like this "Tuesday 21st of January 2014 05:51:00 AM"

and I have this other method that returns a timestamp "1392099616"

$time = current_time( 'timestamp' );

I'd like to get their difference in seconds.

I'm looking into strtotime, can anyone elaborate?

EDIT: Both Method returns string data types.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use your get_the_time like,

$time2 = get_the_time( __( 'd-m-Y H:i:s', 'woocommerce' ), $order->ID );

then,

$time = current_time( 'timestamp' );
$time1 = date('d-m-Y H:i:s', $time);

$date1 = new DateTime($time1);
$date2 = new DateTime($time2);
$interval = $date1->diff($date2);

print_r($interval);

You'll get the difference.

Answer 2

 $time2 = get_the_time( __( 'h:i:s', 'woocommerce' ), $order->ID );

change time2 to this and you will get the the time value and you can compare these

$time1 = strtotime('09:00:59');
$time2 = strtotime('09:01:00');
$gap = $time2 - $time1;
echo 'Time 1: '.date('H:i:s', $time1).'<br>';
echo 'Time 2: '.date('H:i:s', $time2).'<br>';

if($gap){
    echo date('H:i:s', $diff);
}else{
    echo '------';
}
