我为我的博客网站写了这个函数(过去的日期和服务器的日期之间的差异)。它会给你一个这样的输出

“49秒前”，“20分钟前”，“21小时前”等等

我使用了一个函数来获取传递的日期和服务器日期之间的差值。

<?php

//Code written by purpledesign.in Jan 2014
function dateDiff($date)
{
    $mydate= date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
    $theDiff="";
    //echo $mydate;//2014-06-06 21:35:55
    $datetime1 = date_create($date);
    $datetime2 = date_create($mydate);
    $interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
    //echo $interval->format('%s Seconds %i Minutes %h Hours %d days %m Months %y Year    Ago')."<br>";
    $min=$interval->format('%i');
    $sec=$interval->format('%s');
    $hour=$interval->format('%h');
    $mon=$interval->format('%m');
    $day=$interval->format('%d');
    $year=$interval->format('%y');
    if($interval->format('%i%h%d%m%y')=="00000") {
        //echo $interval->format('%i%h%d%m%y')."<br>";
        return $sec." Seconds";
    } else if($interval->format('%h%d%m%y')=="0000"){
        return $min." Minutes";
    } else if($interval->format('%d%m%y')=="000"){
        return $hour." Hours";
    } else if($interval->format('%m%y')=="00"){
        return $day." Days";
    } else if($interval->format('%y')=="0"){
        return $mon." Months";
    } else{
        return $year." Years";
    }    
}
?>

以date.php为例，将其保存为文件。像这样从另一个页面调用函数

<?php
 require('date.php');
 $mydate='2014-11-14 21:35:55';
 echo "The Difference between the server's date and $mydate is:<br> ";
 echo dateDiff($mydate);
?>

当然，您可以修改函数来传递两个值。

另一种以分钟为单位计算差异的简单方法。请注意，这是一个在1年范围内计算的样本。详情请点击这里

$origin = new DateTime('2021-02-10 09:46:32');
$target = new DateTime('2021-02-11 09:46:32');
$interval = $origin->diff($target);
echo (($interval->format('%d')*24) + $interval->format('%h'))*60; //1440 (difference in minutes)

时区的另一种方法。

$start_date = new DateTime("2013-12-24 06:00:00",new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
$end_date = new DateTime("2013-12-24 06:45:00", new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
$interval = $start_date->diff($end_date);
$hours   = $interval->format('%h'); 
$minutes = $interval->format('%i');
echo  'Diff. in minutes is: '.($hours * 60 + $minutes);

以下是答案:

$to_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:42:00");
$from_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:21:00");
echo round(abs($to_time - $from_time) / 60,2). " minute";

<?php
$date1 = time();
sleep(2000);
$date2 = time();
$mins = ($date2 - $date1) / 60;
echo $mins;
?>
