$time1 = strtotime('01:30:00');
$time2 = strtotime('02:20:00');

$time_def = ($time2-$time1)/60;

echo 'Minutes:'.$time_def;

If 4 in 4:20 is minutes and 20 is seconds:

function minutesAndSecondsToSeconds($minutesAndSeconds) {
    list($minutes, $seconds) = explode(':', $minutesAndSeconds);
    return $minutes * 60 + $seconds;
}

echo minutesAndSecondsToSeconds('20:10') - minutesAndSecondsToSeconds('4:20');

With hours:

function timeToSeconds($time) {
    list($hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode(':', $time);
    return $hours * 3600 + $minutes * 60 + $seconds;
}

echo timeToSeconds('3:20:10') - timeToSeconds('1:20:00');

Or simply use strtotime that should works as explained here: Getting time difference between two times in PHP

This function will work for MM:SS and HH:MM:SS format:

function TimeToSec($time) {
    $sec = 0;
    foreach (array_reverse(explode(':', $time)) as $k => $v) $sec += pow(60, $k) * $v;
    return $sec;
}

To calculate difference, use:

echo TimeToSec('20:10') - TimeToSec('4:20');
