I don't think you can use strtotime in that case. However, assuming that
your data is properly formatted every time, you can use a simple
function like this (I'm doing it from memory, so it might not actually
work):
<?php
function conv_time ($s)
{
preg_match ("/^([0-9]*) days,
([0-9]*)\:([0-9]*)\:([0-9]*)(\.[0-9]*)$/", $s, $res);
return $res[1] * 86400 + $res[2] * 3600 + $res[3] * 60 + $res[4] +
$res[5];
}
echo number_format (conv_time ("181 days, 7:16:6.75") - conv_time ("181
days, 7:11:06.66"), 2);
?>
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Marco

I have two periods in time from a Cisco router that I would like to find the
difference in seconds. I am not sure the best way to do this since it is not
a date, but rather an amount of time since last reset.
Here is the numbers
181 days, 7:11:06.66
//stands for 181 days, 7 hours, 11 minutes, 6.66 seconds.
The next is
181 days, 7:16:6.75
//stands for 181 days, 7 hours, 16 minutes, 7.75 seconds.
I would probably shave off the .66 and .75 seconds while it was still a
string. It may be faster to round when it's in seconds, I really don't know.
Then what do I do?
I was thinking of using strtotime(); but because it's not really a date, I
am at a loss for what to do.
Any help with this would be great.
