如何在PHP中获取从开始时间到结束时间的总小时数

Question

How can I get the total hour from start time to end time.

   $start_time = '11:00:00 PM'; // as of 07/08/2013
   $end_time   = '01:00:00 AM'; // as of 08/08/2013

Then output should be:

   $total = '02:00:00'; // 12 hour format

Answer 1

You can convert the date strings to time values, then subtract to get the difference in seconds between the two, then simply divide by 3600 to get the difference in hours:

$t1 = strtotime('2013-08-07 23:00:00');
$t2 = strtotime('2013-08-08 01:00:00');
$differenceInSeconds = $t2 - $t1;
$differenceInHours = $differenceInSeconds / 3600;
