elapsed time

[DonMArtin]

Dear Programmers,

I want to show the visitors the elapsed time from a previously set date (by me) and their time of visit. The format should be days, hours, minutes, seconds.
I understand that I can get both timestamps with mktime() and time(). But I don't know how to handle the difference and how to recovert it to the wanted format.

Any ideas?

Thanks Alex

If your previously set time is a timestamp, it will be simple. Is it? If not, it will be a bit harder, but not much. Just need to know the format of the date.
