time functions - please help

[miz]

please help code this function as i cant do it alone
i got stuck

time format is : 13:59:27

13 hour - mean 1
59 mins
27 secs

now i want to take 2 times and make the diffrent
for exsample

i got $dbtime and time - now with the format i mention above

so i want to do :

$timeago = $timenow - $dbtime

so ill get anser like :

5 minutes, 34 secs AGO

now i did all but my problem is if i got things like that

timenow = 14:02:23
dbtime = 13:58:27

so its says 1 hours, bla bla
instead of 3 minutes and 56 secs

any ideas how to slove this problem ?

wow finally i did it :P

PHP Code:

function timediff($dbtime , $timenow ='')
{
    //db values
    list($dbday, $dbmonth, $dbyear) = split('[.-]', $dbtime);
    list($dbyear, $dbtimes) = split(' ', $dbyear);
    list($dbhour, $dbminute, $dbsecond) = split(':', $dbtimes);
    // timenow values
    list($day, $month, $year) = split('[.-]', $timenow);
    list($year, $times) = split(' ', $year);
    list($hour, $minute, $second) = split(':', $times);

 $dbtime = mktime(intval($dbhour), intval($dbminute), intval($dbsecond), intval($dbmonth), intval($dbday), intval($dbyear));
     
     if ($timenow != '')
     {
         $timenow = mktime(intval($hour), intval($minute), intval($second), intval($month), intval($day), intval($year));
     }
     else {
         $timenow = time();
     }
    
    $diff = $timenow-$dbtime; 
            $daysDiff = floor($diff/60/60/24); 
            $diff -= $daysDiff*60*60*24; 
            $hrsDiff = floor($diff/60/60); 
            $diff -= $hrsDiff*60*60; 
            $minsDiff = floor($diff/60); 
            $diff -= $minsDiff*60; 
            $secsDiff = $diff; 

            if($daysDiff == "0" && $hrsDiff != "0"){
            $timesince = "$hrsDiff hours $minsDiff mins $secsDiff secs";
            }
            if($daysDiff == "0" && $hrsDiff == "0" && $minDiff != "0"){
            $timesince = "$minsDiff mins $secsDiff secs";
            }
            if($daysDiff == "0" && $hrsDiff == "0" && $minDiff == "0" && $secsDiff != "0"){
            $timesince = "$secsDiff secs";
            }
            if($daysDiff != "0"){
            $timesince = "$daysDiff days $hrsDiff hours $minsDiff mins $secsDiff secs"; 
            }
            
    return     $timesince;    
    
    
} 


if its helps so enjoy.
