I am trying to get the difference between the current date as NSDate()
and a date from a PHP time();
call for example: NSDate(timeIntervalSin
--> Use this to find time gap between two dates in Swift(With two Strings).
func timeGapBetweenDates(previousDate : String,currentDate : String)
{
let dateString1 = previousDate
let dateString2 = currentDate
let Dateformatter = DateFormatter()
Dateformatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
let date1 = Dateformatter.date(from: dateString1)
let date2 = Dateformatter.date(from: dateString2)
let distanceBetweenDates: TimeInterval? = date2?.timeIntervalSince(date1!)
let secondsInAnHour: Double = 3600
let minsInAnHour: Double = 60
let secondsInDays: Double = 86400
let secondsInWeek: Double = 604800
let secondsInMonths : Double = 2592000
let secondsInYears : Double = 31104000
let minBetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / minsInAnHour))
let hoursBetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / secondsInAnHour))
let daysBetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / secondsInDays))
let weekBetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / secondsInWeek))
let monthsbetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / secondsInMonths))
let yearbetweenDates = Int((distanceBetweenDates! / secondsInYears))
let secbetweenDates = Int(distanceBetweenDates!)
if yearbetweenDates > 0
{
print(yearbetweenDates,"years")//0 years
}
else if monthsbetweenDates > 0
{
print(monthsbetweenDates,"months")//0 months
}
else if weekBetweenDates > 0
{
print(weekBetweenDates,"weeks")//0 weeks
}
else if daysBetweenDates > 0
{
print(daysBetweenDates,"days")//5 days
}
else if hoursBetweenDates > 0
{
print(hoursBetweenDates,"hours")//120 hours
}
else if minBetweenDates > 0
{
print(minBetweenDates,"minutes")//7200 minutes
}
else if secbetweenDates > 0
{
print(secbetweenDates,"seconds")//seconds
}
}
