check if a stored time() is more than 2 hours ago

[Vivid Lust]

I was wondering how I could check if a timestamp from time(), can be checked to see if it was made more thank 2 hours ago?

 

so

 

$timeInDatabase = 1259691739;

$timeTwoHoursAgo = foo;

 

if( $timeInDatabase <= $timeTwoHoursAgo ){

//do this

}

 

any help on filling this in?

 

thanks lots

You could use strtotime to generate the timestamp 2 hours ago.

An alternative to strtotime

 

$timeTwoHoursAgo = time()-60*60*2; // minus 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 2 = 2 hours ago)

 

Either or works, the strotime is probably easier to read.
