Difference between time() and current time() PHP

Question

Hi, I'm currently creating a subscription membership for my website.

I'm storing the date their subscription started in my database using time() (not extra parameters)

If not, how can i find the number of days between the current time() and the time() stored in the database?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The difference between them is the number of seconds.

There are 3600*24 seconds in a day. Math works here too. Who knew.

Answer 2

You can use microtime instead to store and compare it:

$diff = ($micro_time_from_db - microtime());
echo date('d', strtotime($diff));
