$time1_from = "2006-02-01 08:00";
$time1_to = "2006-02-01 20:00";
$time2_from = "2006-02-01 06:00";
$time2_to = "2006-02-01 18:00";
$ts1 = strtotime($time1_from);
$ts2 = strtotime($time1_to);
$ts3 = strtotime($time2_from);
$ts4 = strtotime($time2_to);
$overlap = max($ts1, $ts3) - min($ts2, $ts4);
if ($overlap < 0) {
$overlap = 0;
}
echo 'The overlap between the two time periods is ',
$overlap / 3600,
' hours.';
