Chris:
You're about there, you have the seconds, just add this:
$hours = floor($timeDiff/3600);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($hours * 3600);
$minutes = floor($timeDiff/60);
$timeDiff = $timeDiff - ($minutes * 60);
$seconds = $timeDiff;
echo($hours);
echo("<br/>");
echo($minutes);
echo("<br/>");
echo($seconds);
I'm surprised that php doesn't have a function to do this -- but maybe I didn't RTFM enough.
In any event, hth's
