Calculate Time difference using UNIX time stamp in PHP [duplicate]

I have 2 unix time, one is todays date and other is expiration time.

• Todays Time: 1377173245 (2013-08-22 12:07:25)
• Expiration Time: 1406303166 (2014-07-25 15:46:06)

What I want to achieve is calculate remaining time to expire the listing. In current case, it should show, 11 months -- hours -- minutes -- seconds I didn't find any good solution to calculate the difference. I doubt is it possible to calculate time difference using UNIX time system?

Thank you :-)

This is what you're looking for: DateTime::diff

First create object with 1st date:

$date = new DateTime('2013-08-22 12:07:25');

Then use the diff method:

$diff = $date->diff(new DateTime('2014-07-25 15:46:06'));

Now if you print $diff variable, you will see the array containing values for hour, minute, day and so on.

Use DateTime::diff

See the doc on https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php

Try using datetime::diff. Here's the example from the php.net documentation:

<?php
$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
?>

It's easy to create a DateTime object using a timespamp. However, this solution requires PHP 5.3+.
