As haukex points out, you can use the database functions to calculate the difference. You can select the interval between now and the timestamp you have like this:
SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(
MINUTE,
STR_TO_DATE('Tue Oct 23, 2018 - 19:57:12','%a %b %d, %Y - %T'),
NOW()
);
That will return the difference in minutes - you can use SECOND as well. In your SQL query you might have something like this:
SELECT
column_name,
TIMESTAMPDIFF(
SECOND,
STR_TO_DATE(column_name,'%a %b %d, %Y - %T'),
NOW()
)
FROM table;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
