This should work why not cheers.
[code]
<?php

// database time.

$database_time="08:20:40";

//convert datbase time to a time stamp.

$time_stamp=strtotime($database);

// tell the time stamp the secons in a day.

$time_stamp_result=floor($time_stamp/86400);

// get the current time.
$minutes=date("h:i:s");

// put current time in a time stamp

$advance_minutes=strtotime($minutes);

// tell the time stamp 600 secons what is 10 mins more to the time.

$result=floor($advance_minutes/600);

//get the time stamp with current time.

$new_time=date("h:$result:s");

// if new time is grater then database time then submit else halt on message.

if($new_time > $time_stamp){

// post data as new time is lees then database time.

echo"let the user post data";

}else{

// halt becouse database time is more then new time.

echo "sorry please wait 10 minutes to post agin thank you!";

}

?>

can you tell me if this is correct the $result should be 10 minutes in front am i correct.

there are 86400 seconds in a day.

and there are 600 secons for 10 minutes.

so 86400 + 600 = 87000 secons that should be 1 day and 10 mins


please help cheers.

[code]
<?php

$time_know=date("h:i:s");

$result_know=strtotime($time_know);

$result=floor($result_know/87000);

echo "<br>$result<br>";

?>

[/code]

[code]
<?php

$database_time="09:40:22";

$result=strtotime($database_time);


$result_database=floor($result/86400);


echo "<br>$result_database<br>";



$time_know=date("h:i:s");
echo $time_know;

$result_know=strtotime($time_know);

$result=floor($result_know/87000);

echo "<br>$result<br>";

?>
[/code]

result.
[code]
13359 // time stamp from database as above.

09:45:09 // echoed time for know as above

13267 // time stamp should be 10 minutes in front as above 87000 secons
