You need to use a fetch function. for example:
$result = mysql_query(sprintf("SELECT TIMEDIFF(NOW(), '%s') as time_delta", $row['fecha']));
if($result){
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $data['time_delta'];
}
However, i wouldnt use the mysql
functions unless absolutely necessary. the mysql
extension is NOT recommended for use in new projects. Instead you should use PDO
with PDO_mysql
or mysqli
.
