From: Chuck Brockman <cjbrockman@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: Chuck Brockman <cjbrockman@xxxxxxxxx> To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Timediff/Subtime questions Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:48:39 -0400 I've got a table that has a field logouttime which is a timestamp. I've tried using the timediff() function in mysql and get an error: select timediff(now(), logouttime) from tblUserTracking Each time it returns (err). However, if I used a query such as: select timediff('2005-07-26 22:00:00.0', '2005-07-26 20:00:00.0',) I get the appropriate return. I am running mysql 4.1.12. Can timediff() be used in such a manner as the first example? I've tried subtime but get NULL for return values.
