Finding difference between dates.

[dkin69]

Im using mktime to find current time and time in 24 hours. Now, I need to be able to tell the user how much more time is left until the 24 hours are up, so I have this after subtracting the 2 dates.

so say I have this 59246 how can I tell how many more hours minutes and seconds are left until 24 hours have expired?

from my understanding it would be 86400-(current time)

is that what you needed, or that actual code

if you are using mktime to find the value of this precise time and the time in 24 hours the difference will always be 24 hours.
