Make use of DateTime::diff of the DateTime Class
<?php
$datetime1 = new DateTime('2014-02-11 04:04:26 AM');
$datetime2 = new DateTime('2014-02-11 05:36:56 AM');
$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%h')." Hours ".$interval->format('%i')." Minutes";
OUTPUT :
1 Hours 32 Minutes

I don't get your question. What do you want as an expected output ? – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Feb 11 '14 at 04:43

You mean like 1 Hours 30 Minutes -> 1.5 Hours? Just divide the minute with 60. – wipindipy10 Feb 11 '14 at 04:45

I presume that if $datetime2 = new DateTime('2014-03-11 05:36:56 AM'); the answer will be the same... – cwhisperer Jan 13 '17 at 10:12

2If the difference between the dates is more than 24 hours, then the result is wrong. This answer will give hours only between 0 and 23. – Pablo Pazos Aug 30 '19 at 15:43

Simply convert both dates to timestamp if dont want to do it in complex way... Something like this
$dateDiff = intval((strtotime($date1)-strtotime($date2))/60);
$hours = intval($dateDiff/60);
$minutes = $dateDiff%60;
and there you go...
Thank you...

1to get days you have to do this '$days = intval($duree/(60*24)); $hours = intval($duree/60)%24; $minutes = $duree%60; return "$days J $hours H $minutes m";' – Ruydo Nov 20 '18 at 13:44
