Time difference between php timestamps in hours

I have a php timestamp 1331875634 generated using php time() function.

I have the current timestamp generated using same function.

<?php
$time1 = "1331875634";
$time2 = time();

echo $differencem; //time difference in minutes
echo $differenceh; //time difference in hours
?>

I want to know the difference between these two in minutes. The minutes may be divided by 60 to make it in hours.

$datetime1 = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s', 1331875634));
$datetime2 = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$oDiff = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
echo $oDiff->y.' Years <br/>';
echo $oDiff->m.' Months <br/>';
echo $oDiff->d.' Days <br/>';
echo $oDiff->h.' Hours <br/>';
echo $oDiff->i.' Minutes <br/>';
echo $oDiff->s.' Seconds <br/>';

I created this code to take standard PHP UNIX TIMESTAMP, calculate the difference in time and return a standard time or a specialized time format. This is great for timing a project and calculating the time it takes to get the results.

function timerFormat($start_time, $end_time, $std_format = false)
{       
$total_time = $end_time - $start_time;
$days       = floor($total_time /86400);        
$hours      = floor($total_time /3600);     
$minutes    = intval(($total_time/60) % 60);        
$seconds    = intval($total_time % 60);     
$results = "";
if($std_format == false)
{
  if($days > 0) $results .= $days . (($days > 1)?" days ":" day ");     
  if($hours > 0) $results .= $hours . (($hours > 1)?" hours ":" hour ");        
  if($minutes > 0) $results .= $minutes . (($minutes > 1)?" minutes ":" minute ");
  if($seconds > 0) $results .= $seconds . (($seconds > 1)?" seconds ":" second ");
}
else
{
  if($days > 0) $results = $days . (($days > 1)?" days ":" day ");
  $results = sprintf("%s%02d:%02d:%02d",$results,$hours,$minutes,$seconds);
}
return $results;
}

Example:

$begin_routine_time = time();
echo(timerFormat($begin_routine_time, $time()));

Once I needed to convert seconds to time like 1 day 03:34:13 days hours:minuts:secondes

I wrote this function

function sECONDS_TO_HMS($seconds)
  {

     $days = floor($seconds/86400);
     $hrs = floor($seconds/3600);
     $mins = intval(($seconds / 60) % 60); 
     $sec = intval($seconds % 60);

        if($days>0){
          //echo $days;exit;
          $hrs = str_pad($hrs,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
          $hours=$hrs-($days*24);
          $return_days = $days." Days ";
          $hrs = str_pad($hours,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
     }else{
      $return_days="";
      $hrs = str_pad($hrs,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
     }

     $mins = str_pad($mins,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
     $sec = str_pad($sec,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);

     return $return_days.$hrs.":".$mins.":".$sec;
  }

echo sECONDS_TO_HMS(65); // 00:01:05
echo sECONDS_TO_HMS(76325); //21:12:05
echo sECONDS_TO_HMS(345872); // 4 Days 00:04:32

I think it could be helpful for you.

You get the different in seconds if you subtract them, so divide it by 60 to get minutes and by 60 again to get hours.
