Time difference is not working in some cases

Question

I am using this code to generate time difference

$to_time = strtotime("2017-03-13 10:42:00");
$from_time = strtotime("2017-03-13 10:21:00");
echo round(abs($to_time - $from_time) / 60,2). " minute";

It was working fine but when my from_time is 23:44:00 and to time is 00:44:00 I am getting time difference -1380 minute.

Please help me on this.

@AlivetoDie what happened I am taking only time to calculate difference but when from time is 23:44:00 date will be same and to time is 00:44:00 the date will be changed to next day. I am passing the previous date only that's why I am getting wrong difference. Now I got it after your explanation. Thanks once again. — Manoranjan Jena, Mar 10 '17 at 19:11

The problem is:-

It seems that You are calculating difference only on the basis of time.

But when date will also consider then problem will not occur because 23:44:00 will be considered as next date with 00:44:00 time (automatically by php strtotime) and calculation will be accurate.
