php中两个日期时间之间的差异

Question

i want to calculate the hour difference between the startdatetime and enddatetime in HOURS.

The date is in format MM/DD/YYYY and TIME in HH:MM:SS format

Below is the code :

$strt_date  = "03/24/2014";
$start_time = "23:14:57";
$end_date = "03/25/2014";
$end_time = "07:34:55";

$datetime1 = new DateTime($strt_date $start_time);
$datetime2 = new DateTime($end_date $end_time);
$diff = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);   
$diff1 =  $diff->format('%h');

Answer 1

Your parameters to your DateTime constructors are incorrect. If you want a space between the dates and times you need to explicitly add them.

$datetime1 = new DateTime("$strt_date $start_time");
$datetime2 = new DateTime("$end_date $end_time");

or

$datetime1 = new DateTime($strt_date . ' ' . $start_time);
$datetime2 = new DateTime($end_date . ' ' . $end_time);
