How about Zend_Date::subDate()?

$d1 = new Zend_Date();
$d2 = new Zend_Date($old_date);
$diff = $d1->subDate($d2);

After you've got the difference, you can check out one of these helpers:

Even if you don't want the whole Zym framework, you could still add their TimeSince view helper to your own application.

You can subtract timestamps of two dates to find difference between them in seconds and then use division and modulo to represent it as minutes, days etc.
