Convert your dates to timestamps which will be 10-digit integers (the time since 1.1.1970 in seconds) you can then substract/add them like normal numbers. $date = '2004-07-15 01:00:00'; $date2 = '2004-07-15 02:00:00'; $timestamp = strtotime($date); $timestamp2 = strtotime($date2); echo $timestamp2 - $timestamp1; // will output 3600 (seconds) Hope this helps.
