<?php
 $openDate = strtotime($record['createdDate']);
 $closeDate = strtotime($record['closedDate']);
 $dateDiff = ($closeDate - $openDate);
 
  $d = ($dateDiff/(60*60*24))%365;
  $h = ($dateDiff/(60*60))%24;
  $m = ($dateDiff/60)%60;
   
  echo $d." days\n";
  echo $h." hours\n";
  echo $m." minutes\n";
