This is a very simple function to calculate the difference between two datetime values, returning the result in seconds. To convert to minutes, just divide the result by 60. In hours, by 3600 and so on.
Enjoy.
<?php
function time_diff($dt1,$dt2){
$y1 = substr($dt1,0,4);
$m1 = substr($dt1,5,2);
$d1 = substr($dt1,8,2);
$h1 = substr($dt1,11,2);
$i1 = substr($dt1,14,2);
$s1 = substr($dt1,17,2);
$y2 = substr($dt2,0,4);
$m2 = substr($dt2,5,2);
$d2 = substr($dt2,8,2);
$h2 = substr($dt2,11,2);
$i2 = substr($dt2,14,2);
$s2 = substr($dt2,17,2);
$r1=date('U',mktime($h1,$i1,$s1,$m1,$d1,$y1));
$r2=date('U',mktime($h2,$i2,$s2,$m2,$d2,$y2));
return ($r1-$r2);
}

This function calculates the difference up to the second.
<?php
function date_diff($start, $end="NOW")
{
$sdate = strtotime($start);
$edate = strtotime($end);
$time = $edate - $sdate;
if($time>=0 && $time<=59) {
// Seconds
$timeshift = $time.' seconds ';
} elseif($time>=60 && $time<=3599) {
// Minutes + Seconds
$pmin = ($edate - $sdate) / 60;
$premin = explode('.', $pmin);
$presec = $pmin-$premin[0];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $premin[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
} elseif($time>=3600 && $time<=86399) {
// Hours + Minutes
$phour = ($edate - $sdate) / 3600;
$prehour = explode('.',$phour);
$premin = $phour-$prehour[0];
$min = explode('.',$premin*60);
$presec = '0.'.$min[1];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $prehour[0].' hrs '.$min[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
} elseif($time>=86400) {
// Days + Hours + Minutes
$pday = ($edate - $sdate) / 86400;
$preday = explode('.',$pday);
$phour = $pday-$preday[0];
$prehour = explode('.',$phour*24);
$premin = ($phour*24)-$prehour[0];
$min = explode('.',$premin*60);
$presec = '0.'.$min[1];
$sec = $presec*60;
$timeshift = $preday[0].' days '.$prehour[0].' hrs '.$min[0].' min '.round($sec,0).' sec ';
}
return $timeshift;
}
// EXAMPLE:
$start_date = 2010-03-15 13:00:00
$end_date = 2010-03-17 09:36:15
echo date_diff($start_date, $end_date);
?>
Returns: 1days 20hours 36min 15sec
Can be taken up to centuries - if you do the calculations.
Hope this finally helps someone! :D

If you simply want to compare two dates, using conditional operators works too:
<?php
$start = new DateTime('08-06-1995 Europe/Copenhagen'); // DD-MM-YYYY
$end = new DateTime('22-11-1968 Europe/Amsterdam');
if ($start < $end) {
echo "Correct order";
} else {
echo "Incorrect order, end date is before the starting date";
}
?>

A simple way to get the time lag (format: <hours>.<one-hundredth of one hour>).
Hier ein einfacher Weg zur Bestimmung der Zeitdifferenz (Format: <Stunden>.<hundertstel Stunde>).
<?php
function GetDeltaTime($dtTime1, $dtTime2)
{
$nUXDate1 = strtotime($dtTime1->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$nUXDate2 = strtotime($dtTime2->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$nUXDelta = $nUXDate1 - $nUXDate2;
$strDeltaTime = "" . $nUXDelta/60/60; // sec -> hour
$nPos = strpos($strDeltaTime, ".");
if (nPos !== false)
$strDeltaTime = substr($strDeltaTime, 0, $nPos + 3);
return $strDeltaTime;
}
?>
