Can you use the now() this way?

[apw]

Hello im trying to use the now() to capture the time a player clicks on the upgrade button. Once the player has done that i would like to add time that now() has captured. If now() has 07:15:00 i want to add an extra 15-minutes to this time then compare the two times to see if the 15-minutes has passed for an event to occur! How would you do this? Thanks!

There is no such thing as now() in php, you need to be allot clearer with your description.

Like thorpe said there is no now() function in PHP. However there is time(), which return current timestamp.

 

So, if you want to get current time use

 

$current = time();

 

And if you want to add 15 minutes to it just add 15*60 to it.
