But the data is fed from the database, CaldTime is timestamp and since it will not allow me to have 2 timestamps in the same table I set the CallEnd varchar(12). Storing the data they seem to be the same for output. I checked hexadecimal and binary to look for obscurities.

    This could be simplified to a function, but using some basic math....

<?php
$sqldata['CaldTime'] = "2008-04-07 11:15:32";
$sqldata['CallEnd'] = "2008-04-07 11:17:17";

$converted = explode('.',((strtotime($sqldata['CallEnd']) -
strtotime($sqldata['CaldTime'])) / 60));
$converted[1] = (($converted[1] / 6) * 3.6);
echo implode(':',$converted)."\n";

?>
