How to get minute from two date diffrence in php?

Question

I have some DateTime like this 2019-10-04 07:58:00, I need the difference between the two date to be returned in minutes.

$current = strtotime(date("Y-m-d"));
$date    = strtotime(date('Y-m-d',strtotime($old_date)));
$datediff = $date - $current;

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean you want the number of minutes difference or only the minute part of the difference? — Nigel Ren, Sep 14 '19 at 08:09

`$current = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")); $date = strtotime(date('Y-m-d',strtotime($item->dod_n)));` Output 300 (Min) — Mukund Bharti, Sep 14 '19 at 08:20

You can use Carbon for that:

$date1 = Carbon::parse('2019-10-04 07:01:00');
$date2 = Carbon::parse('2019-10-04 07:25:00');
echo $date2->diffInMinutes($date1);

Which here returns 24. Is that what you need?
