Checking if timestamp is > 2 minutes old...

[cgm225]

If I have a variable, lets say $time, and it contains a timestamp in the following format for example, 2008-09-09 22:31:14, how can I check if the timestamp is greater than two minutes old?

[BlueSkyIS]

$time = strtotime($time);

if (($time - time()) > 120) {

    // $time is greater than 2 minutes ago.

}

<?php

function ChceckTime($time, $mins) {
  $stamp = strtotime($time);
  $mins = ($mins * 60);

    if((time() - $stamp) > $mins) return false;
      else return true;

}

  if(CheckTime($mystamp, 2)) echo'Dude its fine. Not greater than 2 mins.';
    else echo'Danger Will Robinson! Danger!!!';

?>

If my format is 2008-09-09 22:31:14, do I need to strip out the date first?  If so, how?

no.

The following does not work for me...

 

 

$time = $this->data[$id]['timestamp'];  //Variable with timestamp in this format:  2008-09-11 14:11:30
$mins = 2;
     
$stamp = strtotime($time);
$mins = ($mins * 60);

if((time() - $stamp) > $mins) {
    echo 'Dude its fine. Not greater than 2 mins.';
} else {
    echo 'Danger Will Robinson! Danger!!!';
}

 

What am I doing wrong?

if((time() - $stamp) > $mins) {

 

should be

if((time() - $stamp) <= $mins) {
