How to calculate minutes difference between two timestamps in php

Is there any native function for getting the difference between two timestamps? I want to get minutes difference of two timestamps.

Edit: Sorry but actually I just want the difference of two Unix timestamp.

$date = new DateTime();
$date1_timestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
sleep('120');
$date2_timestamp = $date->getTimestamp();

function get_unix_timestamp_minutes_difference($start, $end) {
    /*
        Some code for return the difference between two unix timestamps
    */
}

echo get_timestamp_minutes_difference($date1_timestamp, $date2_timestamp);

Try This:

$datetime1 = strtotime("2017-05-16 10:00:00");
$datetime2 = strtotime("2017-05-16 10:45:00");
$interval  = abs($datetime2 - $datetime1);
$minutes   = round($interval / 60);
echo 'Diff. in minutes is: '.$minutes;
