Count overall time between two timestamps per user - php

Question

Currently I'm stuck with some MySQL queries.
I have a table like this:
ID|USERID|USERNAME|STARTTIME|ENDTIME|COMMITTYPE
The users click buttons in a frontend -> Start <- and -> Stop <-.
This creates a db entry with their respective duties, starttime and endtime. So, each click on start creates a new row/entry in the db and will get finished by the click on the stop button.
My problem, is there a chance to count the overall time between the start time and the end time per user and commit type?

Answer 1

This probably work
SELECT USERID, COMMITTYPE, MIN(STARTTIME), MAX(ENDTIME),
SUM(TIME_TO_SEC(TIME_DIFF(ENDTIME - STARTTIME))/3600) hours FROM tablename
GROUP BY USERID, COMMITTYPE

Answer 2

Do you refer to something like this?
SELECT COMMITTYPE, USER, (ENDTIME - STARTTIME) AS ELLAPSED_TIME
FROM YOUR_TABLE GROUP BY COMMITTYPE, USERID;

Answer 3

SELECT DATEDIFF('new_date', 'old_date');
// eg
SELECT DATEDIFF('2006-04-01','2006-04-01');
