    i have a datetime picker with save as timestamp set to yes.

    i m trying to get the difference between the datetime set in the post andthe current datetime but i keep getting error diff() on no object..

    $date1=new DateTime();
$format="d/m/Y H:m:s";
$date2= get_field('expirydate');
$date2=date_i18n($format,$date2);

$date1==date_i18n($format,$date1);
$difference = $date2->diff($date1);

$timeleft=$difference->format('%d:%h:%i:%s');
echo $timeleft;

    date_i18n returns a string, not a date object.

    Try this (not tested):

    $date1 = new DateTime('now');
$date2 = new DateTime();

$expiredate = get_field('expirydate');
$date2->setTimestamp($expiredate ); 

$difference = $date2->diff($date1);

$timeleft=$difference->format('%d:%h:%i:%s');
echo $timeleft;
