//Difference between 2 dates This function works well but display wrong time format. Pls how can I change the time of this function from GMT to GMT+1? Displays 15hrs 22mins instead of 16hrs 22mins. Thanks

                $pmin = ($edate - $sdate) / 60;
                $premin = explode('.', $pmin);
