How can I get the difference of a time.

Let's say the first time value is this:

00:01:00

and the second one is this:

00:03:00

How can I get the difference with the same format.

Try this one

    $startTime = new DateTime("00:01:00");
    $endTime = new DateTime("00:03:00");

    $interval = $startTime->diff($endTime);
    echo $interval->format('%H:%I:%S');

Outputs: 

00:02:00

As you asked you wants it to be in same format.

Use like this its work for me

$to_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:42:00");
$from_time = strtotime("2008-12-13 10:21:00");
echo round(abs($to_time - $from_time) / 60,2). " minute";

u can also do this

<?php
$date1 = time();
sleep(2000);
$date2 = time();
$mins = ($date2 - $date1) / 60;
echo $mins;
?>
