To get the current date and time to minutes, you could divide the milliseconds:

var theMinutes = new Date().getTime() / (1000 * 60);

To get the input and convert it to minutes, you could use a Date object, and divide the milliseconds:

    var someDateTime = document.getElementById("someDateTime").value;
var someParts = someDateTime.split(" ");
var theDate = someParts[0];
var theTime = someParts[1];
var dateParts = theDate.split("/");
var timeParts = theTime.split(":");
var theDay = dateParts[0];
var theMonth = dateParts[1];
var theYear = dateParts[2];
var theHours = timeParts[0];
var theMinutes = timeParts[1];
var someDateTimeObject = new Date(theYear, theMonth, theDay, theHours, theMinutes, 0 );
var someDateTimeObjectMillis = someDateTimeObject.getTime();
var someDateTimeObjectMinutes = someDateTimeObjectMillis / (1000 * 60);

  • Just so you know, [`Date.now()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/now) does the same thing as `new Date().getTime()`. It has pretty good browser support, IE9+ and fairly old versions of the other browsers. – Useless Code Nov 01 '15 at 06:40

Hello thank you for all yours answers

Firsly i get the current time using php ( in Milliseconds) then convert pickup date to milliseconds and get differences between them in hours : promo (in minutes) i get 767 hours normally i should get : 47 hours and some minutes 

 var startdate=document.getElementById('pickupdate').value; //03-11-2015 15:49


var someParts = startdate.split(" ");
var theDate = someParts[0];
var theTime = someParts[1];
var dateParts = theDate.split("-");
var timeParts = theTime.split(":");
var theDay = dateParts[0];
var theMonth = dateParts[1];
var theYear = dateParts[2];
var theHours = timeParts[0];
var theMinutes = timeParts[1];
var someDateTimeObject = new Date(theYear, theMonth, theDay, theHours, theMinutes, 0 );
var someDateTimeObjectMillis = someDateTimeObject.getTime();
//var someDateTimeObjectMinutes = someDateTimeObjectMillis / (1000 * 60);


alert(someDateTimeObjectMillis);
var maintenant = <?php echo(round(microtime(true) * 1000)); ?>;
alert(maintenant);
var diff = someDateTimeObjectMillis - maintenant;
alert(diff);

var promo = diff/(60 * 1000);
alert(promo); // 46079

thank you for your support
