There isn't a built-in equivalent for date->diff in PHP 5.2, so you'll have to write your own.

Fortunately, the PHP manual has comments where people have done the hard work for you.

See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php, scroll down to the comments, and pick your favourite solution (there are several to choose from).

The other solution is simply to bite the bullet and upgrade -- PHP 5.2 is no longer supported, so you really should be considering upgrading.
