Check out the PHP date_diff() function, for example:
$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11'); $datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13'); $interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2); echo $interval->format('%R%d days');
The above example will output:
+2 days
You can get the current time using getdate().
