datetime difference caluculation for caluculatin SLA in time

HI All,

As subject line says,

from the below I could successfully calculate days in to hours, time but I am able to calculate getting in to Minutes using below code.

Code:

//to claculate SLA

$datetime1=$date1; //first date

$datetime2=$date2; //second date

                

                define("SECONDS_PER_HOUR", 24*60*60);

        // Calculate timestamp

                $start = strtotime($datetime1);

                $stop = strtotime($datetime2);

        // Diferences

                $difference = $stop - $start;

                // Hours

                $hours = round($difference / SECONDS_PER_HOUR, 0, PHP_ROUND_HALF_DOWN);

                $hourmul=($hours*24);



                // Minutes

                $minutes = ($difference/ SECONDS_PER_HOUR);

                $minmul= round(($minutes/60));

                // Seconds

                $seconds = ($difference % SECONDS_PER_HOUR) / 60;

                $secmul= round(($seconds/60));

                $var= $hourmul. ":" .$minmul. ":" .$secmul;

please help to complete this function my desire output should be, for example.

Start date = 05-11-2012 23:15:00
end date= 06-11-2012 01:15:00

output should be 2:00:00 of time.

can any one help me ???

Why not just use a DateInterval:

PHP Code:


		
			
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

$dts = new DateTime('05-11-2012 23:15:00');
$dte = new DateTime('06-11-2012 01:15:00');

$di = $dte->diff($dts, true);
print $di->format('%H:%I:%S');

The object properties can be inspected as well to see what to show. If its <> 0, then its different in some way shape or form, so you can tack on things like years and months systematically this way.
