SReject commented on a Page, PHP Countup timer for MIRC (start from any date and time) - Feb 03, 2013

If im not mistaken you can just use

$duration($abs($calc($ctime(date) - $ctime(date))))

thanks sreject, it does work. this is what i used to test your simplified version

on *:text:!sessiontest:#: { describe $chan This Stream Session Went Live $duration($abs($calc($ctime(02/01/2013 14:25:00) - $ctime($date $+ $chr(32) $+ $time)))) }

BUT..... i would like it to display 1mo, rather then 4wks. if there is a way, im down to learn and ditch this long math problem in my remote section. i included another screenshot for you to see what the result of your snippet looked like side by side the php long conversion snippet.

$dateDiff:

alias -l durationFix {
  if ($regex(datefix, $1, /^(\d+)wks? (.+)$/i)) {
    var %mo, %wks
    if ($iif($floor($calc($regml(datefix,1) / 4)), $v1,)) {
       var %mo = $v1 $+ mo
       var %wks = $iif($calc($v1 % 4), $v1 $+ wks,)
    }
    return %mo %wks $regml(datefix, 2)
  } 
  return $1
}
alias dateDiff {
  var %diff = $duration($abs($calc($ctime - $ctime($1))))
  return $durationFix(%diff)
}

;usage:
$dateDiff(<date>)

Please note, I did NOT test it. I just went off memory so it could be a bit sketchy :/
