Q: 

Time difference between two date's

I'm sure this is easy but it has had me stumped for ages. I need to compare two dates and only return the hours and minutes difference. Thanks for any ideas :)

+3  A: 

Get the unix timestamp of them both and subtract the earlier from the later. The result will be the number of seconds that has passed between the two dates.
